yes I have already tried a few bagless vacuum cleaner, because I just always like to try out something if it's technically promising. Among them was a Minion AEG, Dirt Devil Infiniti and the Eco version of Dirt Devil and the battery operated vacuum cleaner Dyson DC 45. The AEG was a bad joke, the Dirt Devil was actually not so bad, but the suction power just was not enough - not surprisingly the Eco version has then virtually ignored the mess on the ground. The Dyson DC 45 is really a great toy with acceptable suction power and an electric brush - but expensive and the battery provides just 10 minutes but for fast times a class sucking device. Letztentlich all went back because they just do not really suck for regular vacuuming and I had again bought me a bag with Siemens. In a household with three long-haired dogs and various floor coverings like tile floor floorboards and carpets various short and langflorig our sucker is naturally required quite a bit. Actually satisfied with the bag-sucker, but if it were not always had the hair, which settle in the carpets. Then I tried Turbo brush, but that's always a compromise with the Saugluftantrieb, even the brush does not rotate times and quite durable, the things are not well. That was the reason that I've been thinking a great zuzulegen Dyson because I thought expensive yes, but good workmanship and electric brush. Since I was disabused, the DC 29 and similar, there's only with this turbo brush, wants to one electric brush so you have to buy a model that looks very clumsy (like a space shuttle). Then I came across Stiftung Warentest for the Vax Zen because it has only an average cut off, but by the suction power better than any Dyson, with the same Multizyclonen technology. Stiftung Warentest, however, the model has not been tested with electric brush just the simple version. And then I saw and even at half EIA even though I had already committed myself to a Dyson model Powered Head version of Amazon, I have spontaneously ordered the powered Head - return is not a problem at Amazon what I thought - I try simply. What can I say I'm thrilled! The pure suction is not quite as great as in my bag Siemens with fresh bag, but arrived and sucks it all away - no comparison to the bagless crutches that I had before. But the hammer is the auxiliary electric brush with which the animal hairs are really in no time from the carpets and the fibers make up again so that it looks refreshed. Anyway, you can suck on smooth and delicate floors also with the E-brush - this one turned the handle the motor from simple and the existing roles slides the E-brush gently over the smooth surfaces and thus is not a change to a different floor nozzle necessary. With all the enthusiasm he of course has a few minor points:
- The processing is good but at Dyson is better (but for better performance) - The hose is locked securely on the vacuum cleaner so that it can not rotate, so kanns happen that the relatively soft hose bends. - It is something platzeinnehmend if you will store it, because of a long suction tube can not be wound up. - The cord storage is somewhat lax. - You're always trying to carry the unit by the handle of the dust container's, this should be avoided, however, because all the weight is carried by the locking mechanism.
the decisive for me plus points are: - Class price - performance of Vax Zen will cost less than half of a comparable Dyson z.Bsp. DC29 - Electric brush !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! while normal handling as all the usual vacuum cleaner! - Works and sucks better than the original Dyson (if he is of course just as durable remains to be seen) - Very quiet
I hope I could help you in your buying decision, I would make him in any case at any time to buy at this price.
