Monday ordered - delivered Wednesday. Top! For Siemens Vacuum Cleaner: My old floor - vacuum cleaner (Philips 15 J.alt) consumed 2000 watts. The Siemens VSQ5X 1230 only 850 watts, but is considerably stronger than the old Phillips in the suction power on the ground. The suction power of this vacuum cleaner effktive is truly amazing in spite of only 850 watts. The savings in electricity costs at the end of the year nearly 50-80 euros. The floor nozzle can be adjusted (parquet / Lenoleum or carpet) and additional elements in the vacuum cleaner can be stowed. Also Top! The noise level is pleasantly low in normal operation, almost silent. Actually, the typical vacuum cleaner noise can only be heard at maximum suction power, and even the sound is considerably lower than I expected. Top! The device is ansich smoothly (4 wheels), it has a lush range (nearly 10 m) and can be individually adjusted thanks to adjustable telescopic tube. The VSQ5X 1230 2 very effective dust filter, motor filter 1 + 1 Hepa filter. Both filters and the dust bag, even an inexperienced / novice easily switch. Again Top! Restriction: Siemenr has saved at Rückholtechnik the cable. Any reasonable ground - sucker has a return botton (also with your foot to operate), which rolls up the excess cable. The Siemens VSQ5X not 1230. You have to pull on the cable to the end of the work, only the remaining cable rolls automatically - so the theory !! In practice, this Siehr like this: Man pulling the cord and nothing moves, all repeated it in a stooping posture as possible several times (SO 3 - 15 times) until it finally works of mysterious and inexplicable reasons. The cable is coiled! ! Whoever made this invention at Siemens, he should at Miele, AEG, Fakir, Phillips etc. an unpaid internship to make in order to learn which technology is really customer friendly. Not at Top!
All in all: The VSQ5X 1230 is a good vacuum cleaner --- but with restrictions!
