Our Farm:
3 Cats European Shorthair (only temporarily in apartment, but then wherever door open)
1 Collie (only at night on the ground floor in the house)
3 children
160m² on 2 floors, of which 70m² carpet in the bedrooms and 2 runners at the entrance
Daily use of the vacuum cleaner for the basement, hall, kitchen living room, utility room.
Our first bagless vacuum cleaner. We deliberately for a bag loose system of "compact class" decided because in a 160m² house on 2 floors, the constant swapping cables of the cable, and the Unhantlichkeit the stairs sucking now should become a permanent nuisance wurde.Es so its battery, even if the lifetime but of course is limited to 60 minutes, according to Bosch agreed hopeful ..
After the first week first slight disappointment but could be felt, since we had to change our habits and suction Some not quite as optimal appear for our household. But this of course depends on the size of the apartment, carpet proportion, etc from. Therefore, our rating among o.genannten key data may look very different in another flat blanks and Auststattungen.
But now for the pros and cons of our practice:
Pro:
- Handy and pleasing to the eye
- Can be easily set up and remains good, no annoying hose, no annoying cables. Just to save space in a corner.
- In this version a lot of accessories included! No cost driving purchases necessary!
- The Saugqualität is sufficient in stage 1 for smooth floors.
- Carpet always level 2 or 3 with a rotating brush, suction very very good !!! The first sucker would we rate here with Note 1! Better than any bag vacuum cleaner we've ever had.
- The rotating brush is on carpet, a slight forward driving feel that makes it easier to suck immensely!
- Level 1 and 2 are much quieter than our Siemens 1400 watt vacuum cleaner bag!
- The rotating brush can be pulled out to the side and thus easy to clean. Very good!
- A 2nd rotating brush as a substitute was included in the package. Very good!
- If you understand that you hold the handle vertically as possible disappear the arm pain :-). If you tilt the handle arm to the left or right steers the sucker well with.
- Power-on and ready, no seeking an outlet.
- The risers perfect for stairs!
- Very easy to remove dirt container and out of the garbage bin to empty, then short swing with water ready. All 6-10 times, we have also outside ausgekolpft the foam coarse filter and the fiber-fine filter.
Cons:
- 60 minutes service life is probably. only be achieved if pure smooth floors are used at level 1 without rotating auxiliary brush. Permanent in stage 2 with brush on carpets there are max !! 35 Minutes, that's not enough for our house. You must recharge 3 hours. If step 3 from time to time to come it gets even less. It's just like the fuel consumption figures for cars, determines the manufacturer's instructions under "standard conditions" you never achieved in use .. :-)
- Under dressers, coffee tables, etc to get to the suckers and the rotating brush not, the suction is too thick. It is necessary to replace the brush attachment to the flexible hose, or you push the furniture around the apartment. It can then be mounted but only various upholstery brush attachments, but not the towers with rotating brush. If you now have under the sofa carpet must either move the sofa (with 8 people couch advance the truck ready put :-)) or face down on the floor and try with the Flex hose somehow to come under ... well the the long arms has. Alternatively, you can also just suck all the floors, then reloading and refit hose and suck the rest in the prone position .... all a question of planning ... for us a real nuisance.
- Level 3 aloud.
- After the initial charging (. Lt instructions more than 6 hours) we were able to clean in Stage 2 only 15 minutes. We were eager to return the vacuum cleaner immediately. Thankfully weekend and so we had after 3 charging overnight then about 35 minutes service life. This is then available.
Due to the absolute unfitness to suck under bed or dressers there are 3 points from our experience.
For the excellent suction power in animals and human hair, in particular with the rotating brush, there is a bonus star to!
For easy unhd immediate use without cable, with shoulder strap and on stairs, easy parking in a corner, there is a point to again.
Then power but in total 4 points!
As far as the first evidence emerges from practice. To be completed if we notice more.
Supplement 4/2015:
Technically + without defects or deficiencies. And the daily after 3 months use.
- Negative, however, we now have noticed that over the period of use of the exchange for carrying strap or hose is always difficult. The already very small Verrastungsknopf goes down now so difficult to press and the papers are difficult to pull out. Some oil with his finger distributed to the "friction" has brought significant improvement. Without it inzewischen a cruelty.
