A friend gave me the tip and, after a short "clever-make" I bought a good piece. Since then, I suck with pleasure (has never been there in over 60 years) and am totally satisfied without compromising. (Wash filter, hold button, dirty drain, etc.) The small Mäkeleien the other judges are for me no minuses, because they do not affect the ease of handling and the effectiveness of the device. My carpet (carpets, short pile) was, despite all the dog hair has never been so clean and the versatility of the device is amazing. Even my husband has not bitched about the purchase price, even he thinks it appropriate in the performance. To mention: the battery can be ordered after his demise - super.
