I'm glad I tried it, but I will not be buying another one

I bought our machine around 2 years ago in order to do the vacuuming and washing the floor in one go. The machine worked great for the first 5 months and it did save me lots of time and effort. I was delighted with it!

In the last one and a half years, the machine has been in for repairs 5 times. When it works, I find it does a satisfactory job. I only say satisfactory as there is always a 2cm edge did the machine does not get to, so you need to wipe the edges of the floors by hand anyway.

I therefore place the machine extremely "sensitive". It has various controls to automatically switch off the machine in case a larger item Should Get Caught. One of These Controls is a plastic rudder between the rollers. If the rudder is not vertical, the machine stops working. I find this system is too sensitive as the rudder can be just 1mm off vertical, and the machine will not work. Hence I can spend Easily a half hour trying to get the rudder into the perfect position for the machine to work. Hence the time I save in cleaning the floors, I spend in getting the machine to work and cleaning the machine afterwards.

I'm Glad That I bought the Aquatrio and tried it, HOWEVER, When it goes to vacuum heaven, I will not be buying a new one.
