The build quality is so-so, nothing that looks really cheap, or would kaputtgegangen in a 3/4 year of intensive use, but for a "leader" but rather weak.
The Electricity cable for example is so twisted that you can not roll it smoothly, a cable break, there was not yet.
If we use the vacuum cleaner without a bag (which you supposedly can do) clogged the motor filter inherhalb a few minutes. Cleaning is possible by compressor, but to have to clean that thing every 10 minutes is not the purpose of the thing.
The cleaning with water is not recommended überhaubt, the filter then dissolves as an effervescent tablet on. So, this may be not be a wet vacuum cleaner !!!
So One can only use a vacuum cleaner bag left. With this, the yellow man can then clearly longer and hardly loses strength. If the bag is filled halfway, the suction bends but again and you have to use a new bag. That reminds me, under these circumstances, the use is much too expensive, I empty out the bag on the trash can and then use it again. Two or three times to make the bag with this procedure until they break or are clogged with fine dust so that the suction force suffers again.
Positive, there are also to report. The vacuum cleaner falls to Sogut ever, the cable and the suction pipe are long enough. Even if you can fill the bag only half the unit Plaztu provides for a lot of dirt. To mention still remains the very practical blower function that I was able to use for various tasks around the house.
Bottom line, stay 3 of 5 stars, and I would prefer awarded 3 out of 6 stars.
Priced the Kärcher the best is what you get for under 180, but not the best of what you would expect for under 180. The device gives the impression to break down possible after 3 to 4 years with me. The consumers should buy a new device after the warranty and output by then much money on expensive original accessories.
