Price / performance ... 17

Looking for a new bed (mattress / bed base) to get, at least here at Amazon, not about Rhodes (whether electric or not) around.
When the decision was made: "Yes, electric - one (s) only treat anything;)" I informed myself on the spot. I have the "Vitalis 44 Plus Motor" and the "Sultan Langhus Electrically" myself carefully considered and sample location. Why do I have but then decided to Rhodes?

* Against the Vitalis spoke definitely of price 499,00 - 25% discount = 374.25.
* Against the sultan spoke the fewer strips and the general impression. KA but he did not seem so high ?!
* For the Rhodes said the price, the same or similar Design as the Vitalis, the good reviews and of course the delivery service to the front door.

Pro:
+ Of Rhodes is stably processed. I have at no moment the impression that something there could solve or that I'm insecure.
+ A mains cut-off. I do not want to sleep in an electromagnetic field.
+ The 44 strips, which are adjustable in the pelvic region, to adapt it to its own weight.
+ Engines are really quiet. Especially in the morning, or even half-asleep in the evening I had really concerns. I've got absolutely no nerve for loud noises! But here knows absolutely Rhodes to score. A barely perceptible hum that a relaxed brings in the right and comfortable position.
+ The motors ansich: they consistently do their job. Stark and unimpressed "balancing" one up, without jerking or stalling.
+ Fit: I built years ago my girlfriend a bed (180x200). That is a simple, rectangular box with a central bar made of solid wood. The grate fits perfectly! The Eistenstangen that hiefen the bed hurry up are exactly aimed at and a little bent inwards. Only the engine, which extends down a bit out, was a bit of a problem because we have bed drawers under the bed. But hey, that was supposed to be known that you should usually have space under the bed - if you are under electric power.
+ Convenience: I wanted to buy a new mattress actually. I have not yet. It was not my mattress was worn out, but the cheap slatted lower. It was really an eye-opener, as I have put myself on the Rhodes: tight, firm, stable and accurate as supportive, where it should be. Even when I asked my better half if my spine (the side chairs) would be doing now, I was the affirmative. Just wonderful and I fall asleep again recovered and comfortable.
+ The power cord is really long enough to put it to the next outlet.
+ There is a 9V at (for the emergency descent) and you still have room for a spare block, which can be put next to it.
+ And not least: the unbeatably good price (incl. Shipping)! Well, it costs almost exactly twice as much as the slats without motor ... but since everyone has to individually decide what he wants and needs.

Neutral:
o you have to watch that you do not get caught the partners when shuts down again;)
o Personally I would find more cable clips on Placed very useful. Both cables, remote control and power, so are quite long, hanging pretty ugly around under the bed. So you will either themselves creatively and glued such cable clips to the frame, or live with it.
o The feet are not as steep and ramped up at Rhodes, such as the Vitalis. This is of course a matter of taste and / or "who does not test, which can not know if a different rust is possibly better." Personally, I found the Vitalis here a little better and more comfortable.
o one should take into account, of course, that the mattress including "suffering" sooner or later, or the life will be affected when you adjust the slats and move.
o a purely constructive proposal to the farmer: I do not have up and down even a holder for the mattress. Whenever I go back up when we slip (the mattress and I) a little bit down. Alone medical models have this design ?! VMTL. is not a big deal and would increase the sleeping comfort considerably.
o the slatted frame is exactly twice as high (about 8.5 cm) as our old people. For us it was just a coincidence, my girlfriend now sleeping just on and when it comes back the same as I do.
o even when it cracks me every now and then, when I use the engines. Currently I shove it still that the rust has yet "retract" must. But if it is so, like another reviewer, I'll adjust the star award again.
o Service of the FMP:
* Email Support: I have a mail to FMP written, in which I had asked for a tip regarding a suitable mattress for me.. Relatively quickly (iwann night) I got an answer that was something like: take "XY" type that suits their proportions. Apart from the fact that the mail vmtl. was written on a smartphone and was full of spelling mistakes, it was sales-driven real weak. Sorry, no information is provided, why this mattress is better suited than others or what value I by purchasing this mattress. I have also asked if delivery on a specific date would be possible (which would have been a Saturday - for understandable reasons). Again, the sloppy answer is "yes". Only in the terms and conditions I have read that a delivery on a weekend only in exceptional cases would be possible at an additional cost. I assume the clerk of the times Mail that was not paying attention, what day it was the desired date ?! Schade, an email was the next day, correctly and with the feeling that dealt with me, I would have liked better or I would have presumably. actually equal ordered a mattress.
* Phone Support: I had to rely on the mail, I ordered and then only read that on the date. So phoned the next day and Hr. Fischer was personally tuned (it's true what is described here in other reviews: short and sweet, not much frills, no pleasantries or small talk is not everyone's is exactly mine, but presumably thing;!.). When I described my concerns, I was passed on promptly and a nice lady has listed my office address and forwarded to the shipping company. So call better than email.
* The forwarding GEL-Express - to the point: is not've ever been! The 15th of August is almost everywhere a holiday, but not everywhere! So when I tried on the 15th, by phone to contact GEL in touch to see if I get my slatted on the day or not, was simply not taken ?! No answering machine, no nothing that would have made the customer aware of the holiday ... and as forwarding? The next day I tried it umpteen times. Only after 4-5 times a staff member took pity decrease was not rude, but not friendly and informed me that the package would be delivered today. Hello, I've missed something? If forwarders not actually call the customer in advance to make an appointment? So was delivered on the same day, 2 very young and frail carrier employees have approximately 30kgs. Package dragged through the branch and this can then be quite rudely fall, resulting in the slatted not harmed, but the packaging was damaged. And the tracking on the Internet works sometimes, most of the time but not the browser window is not opened, or you got the error message "technical failure ... try later ... bla bla".
* Shipping ansich: Sun. evening ordered, delivered Thu noon - namely the office, but still super fast.

Cons:

Conclusion:
Why one star less? Because I, as I said, the Vitalis with the "higher" legs more comfortable found a tick and because I have to slip the mattress every time again a bit upwards, if I only had bent his back. It is enough for a wonderful "I like it" and just missed a "I love it".

Still, even if me with it from time to rearing my better half that I look like an old man, I do not want to miss my slatted. My initial back problems are passé, it is super comfortable to read or watch TV or just to put your feet up. From my side a strong buy recommendation.
