First of all: This nozzle is offered by Siemens and Bosch respectively in identical manner, since both products yes come from Bosch-Siemens-Hausgeräte. I ordered the brush for a Moulinex vacuum cleaner with 35 mm system. Should also be mentioned that a Miele was not an option because it would require the Miele typical recess for fixing the pipe, which Siemens holds through-plugging alone, but that's the only thing that fits this brush. I know the floor brush of Sebo and Miele. Both intermediate 30 and 40 and thought that bad, the Siemens at a regular price of 30 not be. Well, the Sebo is already on the equipment a few steps higher (4 wheels design, swivel and tilt joint, 2 replaceable bristle wreaths, ...) but something like I know from Miele, I would have been able to expect. Next is compared with the Miele clearly noticed: - The bristles are a parquet brush too hard - The bristle wreaths have lost the very first look at individual bristles - On the side, where Miele has mounted two wheels that Siemens has nothing, not even bristles. This results in sucking too little vacuum - As the brush has no wheels, so you can be very difficult to suck on Rugs or doormat, which goes perfectly with the Miele. Note: For such an application a parquet brush is not thought, but it is convenient not to have to change because of an extra-small Schuhabstreifers the brush. - The bristles have approximately every 25 mm recesses to accommodate dust and dirt in the forward and backward movement. The course also has the Miele. At Siemens, the recesses but nonsensically the front and rear bristle ring at the same location. That is, if you push the brush through your floor touching neither the front nor the rear bristles at certain points the flooring, which has the consequence that, if the not repeatedly drawn over the same spot, Clinging dirt will not be resolved comprehensively. At this point it should be mentioned that a displacement of the recess had a penny cost more. - In principle, it should be mentioned that the plastic parts leave a relatively cheap and not durable impression. Too thin and already partially deformed by the mounting of the bristle wreaths.
The brush is certainly not worth 30, even the special price of 17 is for something too much. Production costs are casually at 2 - 5 move. 10 might be okay for that. This product plays in the same league as the Far East-Discount. Anyway, another product where you want to do with the former good name of Robert Bosch and Werner von Siemens short term high profit, but langfrisig harms their reputation. Sorry!
