Have the small Philips vacuum cleaner charge since Saturday and after 16h, he came immediately to use. Actually I had just ordered him to eliminate smaller disasters, such as the overturned ashtray or the obligatory cat litter next corr. Toilet. These two problems are solved the little orange pretty good. What I do find the upper blast: it sucks but with the brush supplied the white cat hair on my red sofa! And that much better and faster than my big Siemens. My Tiger are purely indoor cats and hair in summer and winter very strong. Even more impressed me the power of this rather small device. Today I then tried it once in the car - and lo and behold: it absorbs the coarse dirt satisfactorily on. For a thorough cleaning it is not sufficient degree, but that would be asking too much. In the dust container I found earlier in any case a lot of leaves, needles and whatever else like to be caught up in car carpets and was surprised and a little embarrassed that I drove apparently walk half a forest in the car. For battery life I can not say much, but it is in my opinion much more than 9 minutes, because I have at least as long sucked my sofa and car and he showed no weakness. Also positive is that the cleaner does a pretty solid impression. It wobbles nothing and it is very easy to disassemble and clean. The charging station is stable on my countertop in the kitchen and threatens not to tilt in approach to horizontal. Let's say, highly recommended and definitely worth the price. Am still glad that I have not brought my 13 model from the local drug market. That would be probably quite a letdown compared to Philips become.
