So far we have always bought our vacuum cleaner of a particular company, which sends its representatives into the house ... After these two, as it turned out overpriced devices, we were looking for a cheaper replacement and are at the Siemens Q5.0 become in fact successful. Whether smooth floors (parquet, laminate, tiles), or carpeting = everything is, thanks to the very high suction power, perfectly clean! As cat owners we carry naturally a constant battle against cat hair on the sofa, pillows, etc., and also litter grains next to the litter box out. However, with the Q5.0 that is really no longer a problem. Some find the upholstery too small, I can not quite understand. Because let's face it: with a larger nozzle's is again not really clean :-). If we are ever in the accessories: super solution that this is directly in the device! So now you have it here in sucking more and it does not have only, if necessary, go get somewhere out of the closet. As an extra, huge selling point, the 13-meter-long cable is to be considered. Finally, no permanent Umsteckerei longer necessary !!! And the one time that we need to reposition, the device can be, thanks to the Parking and stowing aid, between wonderful park. Is rock solid and is not covered by (we had already stated). About the seeehr quietly sucking sound was already written well enough. For us, our cats are the critics on this point. Until now, if you've already seen the vacuum cleaner only, they have jumped in panic and have saved on irgenwelche cabinets. Now, if we get the vacuum cleaner and put it into operation, simply to lie and watch with fascination as you walk around sucking them. That's the only downside to the device- you must now manually umparken somewhere, so they would not be in the way while vacuuming his pets ;-)
