I rise to speak briefly. Did it used for the first time today. Had been quality Philips vacuum cleaner at the start. Here is immediately noticeable negative, that handle and metal pipe is not "like" - every 2 minutes drops the metal pipe to the ground, what is taking shape at a delicate parquet / laminate in unsightly bulges. Furthermore, high-end devices are designed so that the hose to the mouthpiece that is plugged into the device, can rotate. Here I would have turned most of the tube in the opening minutes. For high-quality equipment, the carpet / laminate switch is also designed so that 2 brushes (front / rear) Push out in this device has been saved and incorporated the brush only in the front area. Rear runs the mouthpiece through roles - should there a grain of sand or similar have set - Congratulations, you now have a scratched parquet / laminate.
