I was very skeptical before buying it, because there were some very negative messages to. Now that I have him for several weeks now in use, I have to say that it is not only a good quality vacuum cleaner is really, but the best thing is that I've been here for years. My last two Handstaubsauger were also expensive brand equipment and after a short time in repair, or in electronic waste. Finally something that might stay with us ... Bravo Phillips, well done !!!
