I bought the equipment for the evil dirty corners outside of the living area, so for the hobby room, the not yet completed cultivation developed at the house and the outdoor terrace. The machine is running well, forward (sucking) as backward (as Laubpuster on the terrace). Practically, the composition tube, two pieces of pipe and the wet-dry brush. The problem is the intake of leaves, they often remain at the margins offset the mounted tubes or stuck in the brush piece. Everything is rounded, compact and hard enough but going smoothly through: So mortar / plaster breaking, pieces of wood, Dämmungsfussel, ... Conclusion: Super Hobby device for professional use, I think, with decreased performance and size.
