Leifheit has this now well recognized and brought under the same article number (52014) a centrifuge with a higher margin on the market.
This is recognizable at first glance. The edge of the centrifuge is no longer only 4 cm high but a good 15 cm. The Amazon picture shows both, so please be careful what you get delivered.
For product review:
!! My review now refers to the new model with the high edge (July 2013), which introduced me Leifheit kindly after complaining of "old" 2012er model available !!
You get the Leifheit set securely packed in a large box.
The kit includes the bucket, the "centrifuge", two parts style and the wipe.
A manual can be found on one of the tabs on the box.
On one side of the cardboard used in the form of pictures is shown.
Use:
The workmanship is very good, and plastic parts are clean and free grade processed (what I expect for the price). The mechanism runs due to a corrosion-free glass ball bearing well. The bucket can be good disassemble for other uses.
The size and angular shape of the bucket with 2 handles make him during wiping indeed very handy, but filling it can be due to the size only in the tub.
The "folding of the wipe" for watering and centrifugation is now working very well. Only there is annoyingly sometimes happens that one half pops up when watering the wipe.
For use, the holder and thus work out the fastened by press studs wipe together, moving in the windscreen washer fluid and then into the centrifuge (the round basket) plugged. Now the style is decoupled center and moves up and down.
This causes the rotation of the basket and the vertebrae out of the water.
This is done in the system with the high basket now spatter-free, quite excellent light and clean.
Then weitergewischt again.
The use is designed for tiles, parquet and laminate. On the box sports a seal of the German Parquet Association, which recommends this set.
In my view, still too moist even after prolonged centrifuging the wipe. Here everyone has time to try yourself and decide.
Large-scale can be extremely quickly and effectively wipe tiled floors.
For smaller areas with many corners and edges (or heating pipes, stair rods etc.) is a mop useful (offers Leifheit with centrifuge on).
Conclusion:
++ Very well made
++ Very simple operation
++ Running quickly
++ No spatter during centrifugation
o without Rating: especially for big! Surfaces (otherwise is a mop better)
- Quite a lot of residual moisture for parquet and laminate
