I use the vacuum cleaner for several weeks now as a substitute for a Miele Cat and dog. After short-term use of Dyson with less than satisfactory experience, I can say that the 25.2 V fully met my expectations of a battery operated vacuum cleaner. The suction power is at Level 2 perfectly adequate, the battery lasts for my 125 square meters of household full. Only by receiving smaller, hard dirt (stones, cat litter) brauchts on hard floors sometimes a second Drüber walking. With our unique, hard-to-clean carpet (what is it that keepeth the proof) the Mini Vac comes even doing exceptionally well. Even the cat hair is not a problem. At Miele cat and dog I have for ne specially to mount carpet nozzle used. The hopper can easily be emptied in the kitchen above the trash can without the whole room einstaubt (like the Dyson was the case). Only if you ausklopft the dust filter, should not stop indoors you look. Washing the filter is also no problem!. The absence of the cable and an afterward to be drawn body is priceless. Due to the acceptable weight I suck my stairs considerably more comfortable than with my old vacuum cleaner. Although a Handsaubsauger in flexibility can not keep up with a thin vacuum cleaner tube, this device turns out to be surprisingly flexible. Under our couch I come easily (this has, however, from the ground to the body height of about 25 cm). For lower parts you have to stop the suction mount. That apart Assemble the vacuum cleaner to the portable part is admittedly somewhat hakelig. These brauchts exercise. This ensures on the other hand, however, the stability of the device. As Mako I take that not really. How durable battery, vacuum cleaners and the Steckverbingungen really are and whether the relatively high price is justified by the fact will prove. Until then, the instrument of mine gets 5 stars.
