First of all: I write not just about my experiences with the Makita-sucker, but also see a little with the 18V Li-Ion vacuum cleaner Ergorapido Plus, I've been using for four years, then the batteries were over and with it the entire vacuum cleaner. I have not found an acceptable way to replace the batteries when Ergorapido. But that leads us too far, if you are interested just googled times on the subject. So I stood in the new purchase before deciding: the type of restore as Ergorapido or something else? The Ergorapido is here on behalf of all (18V) cordless vacuum with a rotating suction brush that only minor differences are likely to be different and, as far as one can see from the product, are likely to have the same battery-changing issue. So let's try another design concept! Advantage Makita: sucking on hard floor even without rotating brush on the small stage much better than the Ergorapido. Thus, both the most annoying hair removal from the rotating brush, as well as the cleaning of the bearings is eliminated. Makita advantage: with the pipe and the graceful floor nozzle I finally also easily under furniture and in tight corners. Makita advantage: can through the higher center of gravity of the sucker this handle effortless and "on the fly" sometimes eliminate Staubwebe at the corner of the room. Makita advantage: the battery does constraints inherent to easily switch and a charge of 4 Ah battery lasts long ungaublich by. I must admit, I have not paid attention to the exact time, but at a low level (on hard ground is usually sufficient) the battery lasts about 40 min. (!) By. I suck 170 sqm (hard floor with a few bridges on it) in one go! That goes with the handy suction incredibly easy and fast. Should limp make the battery on the road, it is almost 30 minutes in. recharged. I would, however, in my experience, no longer take the 4 Ah battery, but two 3.3 Ah batteries to change, allows nonstop suck! Makita advantage: if you after charging the charger from the power disconnects (switch socket), standby power is not consumed. The full battery even after weeks without recharging full. Makita advantage: The cleaner and the accessories are high impact from the Makita-typical high-quality plastic, there goes my experience with Makita devices as soon not break anything. Draws Makita / Ergorapido: empty the dust is not a pure joy for both. Best outdoors to the garbage. I've been using for the Makita continuous dust bag, dusty, obviously very good at beat. Those who do not like taking the Makita the paper bag. He's small, but also keeps a long time through. When Ergorapido I had felt much more often empty because the suction power of the cyclone system subsided quickly even with little dirt in the filter. Makita downside: it is really not a "lifestyle product", the design is ugly cave! In addition to the Ergorapido he acts like cheaper scrap from Resterampe. Makita disadvantage: he is not free and there is no charging station to switch off. During breaks you have to lean on him somewhere. Makita disadvantage: the sucker for tall people is a little short, the causes a slightly stooped posture. I wanted to get a second suction tube and shorten accordingly. But that is not because the pipe is minimal butted, the parts would not fit together. Pity! Japanese probably do not understand this criticism ;-) Makita disadvantage: the high price! But only if you have no 18V Makitagerät (and charger and battery). Then it's a bargain. In my opinion, the purchase is worth but also when buying sucker + battery + charger. The vacuum cleaner is robust and high quality, the Makita batteries also. I strongly advise to the original battery, in my experience, are good the "Noname" is not much that would be saved in the wrong place. Although all together cost more than a Ergorapido, but to handle the battery-change problem completely, every few years is a time buy more battery better than a whole sucker. And who knows - maybe you come on the taste and still buys another Makita battery device according to ... The selection is huge!
So, these were now quite a lot of words for such a small device. Thanks to the gentle reader, if he (she) has held up here.
