I have satisfied the device now for about a week in use and am. Our old Leifheit or TCM broom has unfortunately after 10 months given up the ghost (charging electronics broken) and so we got us twice as expensive Kärcher. It does its job well, mainly to brush cat hair from suede. The brush is wider and more robust than the Leifheit, but the device is somewhat clunky and not so good to maneuver, but what you get used to. The quality impression is good, everything well made. Especially good that he comes to 1 mm to the right margin. Empty containers is very simple, but why dust the unit so from the outside !? However, a nerve is the battery and particularly the charger. A 130mA wall charger to charge a 1500mAh battery is incomprehensible to me. Is that environmentally friendly because it does not consume as much power when the charger constantly plugged into the wall outlet (see review before). Who also the device depends to a charger after each use may soon look forward to the declining capacity of the battery, because high - Kärcher uses a simple NC battery with 1500mAh proud. But no problem, if the battery is flat, you can buy more the. Then 20 mature (in the email body, after all) for 4 NC cells. And if the charging time of 14 hours is too much, a quick charger can probably with 300mA down, for just under 30 euros. The battery has apparently not even a charging electronics that regulates the charging process, and indicates when the battery is full. I invite him now with an electron. Modelling Charger with 800mA (without getting warm), takes less than 2 hours. Positive invite you to twice the battery lasts just 30 minutes carpet. All in all, however, boldly what the manufacturers still want to earn, spare battery and quick charger cost as much as the whole broom. So a China Steckerlader costs about 1.20 euros regardless of whether 130 or 300mA, why not make it the great series and one Ni-Mh rechargeable battery with 2500mAh, which can be for the money but expect ...
