Already operating the foot switch is an imposition; turning on the device is thus a Patience or gambling, because a reaction of the sucker does not always follow the operation of the on-off switch. The previous model a rich and well-perceptible on resistance could be felt ....
A particularly major weakness is the clutch that will connect the flexible suction tube to the actual suction. What previously took a carefree and flexible acting on an unlimited 360 ° rotary coupling possible, will be guided by a firm clutch complete absurdity. Here, the "touching" hose in the clutch is yet another scandal. Speaking Tube: Unfortunately this is clearly the rigor with Miele felt. In the old model a stiff, but at the same time sufficiently flexible material was used. Unintentional stepping on the hose took the "old" never ill; In the new model, the material bends a permanent and always visible fold forms there. At room temperatures of 25 ° C and more, the material is so "limp", that at full suction power of the tube through the vacuum acting there zusammenziehtund then consequently no longer sucks.
The cover for the additional brush equipment is dimensioned so thin that a closing is possible only through "emphatic" pressing.
Last but not least the engine: Already at the first use we found that the operating temperature of the nipple is more than unusually high. At full power, you have to have concern that any plastic parts to melt or fall off. One advantage aht the course: When sucking can be safely parked in the winter months the heating in the room to be sucked, because the heat increases in the shortest possible time, the ambient temperature at a pleasant level.
Unfortunately summary must be noted that this device does not (longer) is worth the money. Soon we will therefore (then and certainly no more Miele equipment) to look for a new one.
