cleaning:
Floor cleaning hard flooring
Type of flooring: linoleum, tiles, hardwood floors. The main nozzle for carpet and floor has a regular rectangular shape and a foot switch for floor/mopper. For cleaning we used a retractable bristle brush – by the way, it’s not easy to extend and get it to lock in this position with the foot button, although perhaps over time it will develop and become “more obedient”. We cleaned tiles and a parquet floor at maximum power – the effect was very good, but the linoleum “sucks” to the nozzle, so we had to turn down the power, which did not affect the result! The nozzle is not maneuverability – neither the shape nor the attachment to the tube does not allow, so when cleaning the corners and spaces around furniture have to work extra: move objects and pass these places several times with the nozzle. There is also a special wide nozzle with bristles for cleaning hard floors. It has a simpler design and is lightweight. It is perfect for cleaning parquet and wood, as it has no metal base and is more considerate of delicate surfaces thanks to its long bristles.
Quality: 9 points.
Speed: 8 points.
Carpet cleaning
Type of flooring, pile length: bedroom rug, 1cm pile, bathroom rug, 1cm pile, fitted rug, 5cm pile. Carpets were cleaned with the main brush head without extended bristles. For vacuum cleaners cyclone type preferably clean the carpets, which are always sticking to the hair and fur, turbo, but our unit did not have it can be bought separately . We are pleased with the results, the only exception is the bath mat. Small and lightweight, it didn’t stick to the nozzle only at minimum power. But this is easy to adjust. More importantly, even a 5 cm pile carpet is not only clean, but it looks great: the pile is lifted and groomed.
Quality: 10 points.
Speed: 10 points.
Cleaning upholstered furniture
Type of coverage: velour. The textile brush with extensible bristles suffers from the same switching hardness as the basic brush head. The oval shape is very unusual, as well as the fact that the “cut” or contact surface has an irregular shape, which, we have noticed, improves the “grip” with the surface and is well reflected in the quality of cleaning. The brush head without bristles is ideal for cleaning upholstered furniture, and the extending brush head cleans books, shelves and baseboards. Quality: 10 points.
Speed: 10 points.
Cleaning hard to reach places with the main nozzle convenience
The nozzle rotates freely around the tube on which it is mounted, which allows you to lay the tube directly on the floor and to reach spaces under sofas, cabinets and other furniture, if there is a 7 cm distance between it and the floor. But the shape of the nozzle itself rectangular does not allow to cleverly bypass furniture legs, floor pots and other objects on the floor and does not allow to penetrate into the corners of less than 45 degrees.
Quality: 9 points.
Speed: 9 points.
Crevice nozzle cleans hard-to-reach places convenience
Combined with the highest wattage setting it gives best results, dust flies to the nozzle with a “whoosh”! Quality: 10 points.
Speed: 10 points.
Power switch
This model has one of the most convenient and practical power switches in the test. Smooth electronic regulator on the handle no need to bend over ! , is subject to slight movement of the thumb, has 4 marked power positions, but due to the smoothness of the switch intermediate options are possible. The regulator has an electronic suction power indicator light: the handle lights up red if the selected power is not suitable for the surface being cleaned the brush is too “sucked on” . We estimate convenience and usefulness of such seemingly trifle on merit: in fact, it is both care of our belongings and floors, and protection of the engine of the vacuum cleaner from overheating, and energy saving.
Convenience of the switch: 10 points.
Tank convenience
Bowl-shaped plastic basin has a convenient handle, can be removed and put back in one motion. Simply push the button to pull it out. The inside of the container is a valve that presses the dust inside, preventing it from escaping and coming into contact with the skin and respiratory tract when you throw the trash in a bag or bucket. Enough container capacity for 2-3 good cleaning tasks in a 60-square-meter square apartment.m. The dust canister handle has a second function: It helps to place the vacuum cleaner in an upright position. After removing the trash, the container and all its parts must be rinsed and dried naturally.
Ease of removal and reinsertion of the dust canister: 10 points.
Ergonomics
On/off button: 10 points. Vacuum cleaner is turned on by an electronic power control on the handle. Soft and very soft start, easy to position.
Main Nozzle: 7 points. Rigidly adjustable with floor-cleaner system, quite maneuverable, protects the floor from scratches, but has the most ordinary shape.
Manoeuvrability of the model: 10 points. Rides quickly and very gently, turns easily, lightweight.
Easy nozzle change: 10 points. Large and soft button that allows you to easily fix the nozzle and remove it.
Convenience of the tube: 10 points. In addition to the convenience and ease of length adjustment, let’s note the lightness of the tube itself, made of aluminum.
Easy to park and store: 10 points. Two parking positions allow you to store it in the most convenient manner. The body has a bracket for the vertical positioning of the hose.
Easy filter change: 10 points. If the suction power has diminished or the light indicator light is active, the pre-motor and air filters need to be cleaned. Filters simply rinsed with cool water and dried in the shade. Like filters, every 3-6 months cyclonic system needs to be cleaned. All these parts are in one compartment protected by a lid. The compartment can be pulled out by the special lever, easy to disassemble and assemble. The output filter also needs to be washed with water, but less often – once a year. It is located in a special compartment and very easy to remove and reinsert.
