First I must say that to desire the material processing leaves something. The stem consists of several individual parts is not very firm, and shaking the compounds. This one has when using a little afraid he might break. However, I have the not expect otherwise for the price. Secondly, I had before I could use the broom for the first time, first time on the cable contacts, which are in the stem, fumble around because of a contact was down too far and therefore of the broom battery could not be charged. Since I'm not clumsy but the problem has done after 15 min. The cleaning performance is good in between the fast and rid you can empty the dirt container quickly. A small flaw in the package is no guidance here is how you have to assemble the battery broom. However, one can not too much go wrong because you can not build it together otherwise. For battery life I can not say much because I use the broom only briefly. All in all, a good helper in between when a time a mishap has happened or is announcing a visit to the will appear in the next five minutes. I like the cordless electric broom and I regret not having bought it.
