The equipment for the house

Constructional “features”

Comfortable Soft touch coated handle provides pleasant and comfortable control of the vacuum cleaner, and an additional handle for carrying increases its mobility.

No charging base with wires: it recharges with the included charger – just like a cell phone.

The model can stand on the floor without external support: when you pause during cleaning, you can let the vacuum cleaner out of your hands without fear that it will fall.

Battery monitoring via display to help you plan your cleaning time and recharge the vacuum cleaner in good time if it runs low. Display shows 4 charging levels: 100, 75, 50 and 25% of charge.

The overall impression: a big vacuum cleaner

The model makes a mixed impression. On the one hand, everything is so beautiful, convenient, well thought out: it charges easily, the level of charging is shown on the large LED display, it can stand without support in pauses during cleaning, has a comfortable mode switch on the handle and a soft bumper, the main nozzle is quite maneuverable. The roller of the turbo brush can be taken out and cleaned: its section can be opened with an ordinary coin.

The vacuum cleaner has a lot of other advantages, which have yet to be mentioned, according to some parameters of our testing it is the leader! But one big minus spoils the impression: there is no removable hand-held vacuum cleaner. However, this manufacturer also offers a range of vacuum cleaners “2 in 1”, such as FREEJET. Maybe it’s just that this model is designed for other purposes.

To other disadvantages we have attributed:

Dimensions. The largest upright vacuum cleaner in our test room.

Charge for up to 16 hours.

Very smooth plastic body. Everything can slip out of hands when assembling and disassembling the vacuum cleaner.

Test results

STANDALONE TIME

Floor mode stands at 46 minutes, Carpet mode at 36 minutes.

Note that this is the best result in the test, no other model works longer, and vacuum cleaner from Electrolux in the comparison loses as much as 26 minutes! But we still take off one point, because the claimed battery life of 60 minutes.

Score: 9 out of 10.

CHARGE TIME: first one for 24 hours, next ones for 16 hours.

NOISE LEVEL

Floor mode: 77.8-78.6dB

Carpet mode: 79.2-79.9dB

Turbo mode: 81.2-81.7 dB

We evaluated the noise level as the lowest among tested models.

Score: 10 out of 10.

CLEANING QUALITY

The vacuum cleaner went through its test track in one pass, instantly picking up all the debris in Pol mode. It doesn’t even need to reverse. No debris blowing, which increased the cleaning time of some of the other models in the test, too. Excellent performance! This model also excelled in Carpet and Turbo modes: the suction power is excellent, hair and cat hair are coiled with “hurray”. In terms of quality and cleaning speed, it was the leader in the test.

Score: 10 out of 10.

DUST BAG CLEANING

The dust canister is the biggest in the test, almost 2 liters. It’s convenient: you don’t have to shake out the trash for a long time. When it

When it becomes necessary, it is easy to do: detach the container from the body with the big button, turn it over the bucket and turn the side flaps to the open position. The lid opens and the dust falls out. The main disadvantage is the smooth plastic combined with the rounded shape of the container. You have to hold it firmly, because it slips out.

Score: 8 out of 10.
