Siemens, try again
I bought this model in another shop. Unfortunately a bad buy.
The stick vacuum blows the dust away instead of sucking it up. The hand vacuum works better, but then you have to crawl along the floor. The crevice nozzle works best because it channels the suction power, but then you have to go centimetre by centimetre through the flat.
A blue LED lights up when the hoover is charging. However, as the manual admits, it really only indicates that the hoover is plugged in. The LED does not switch off or flash when the battery is fully charged. After half a day, you just have to assume on the off chance that it is.
The battery loses power brutally after a few weeks. Barely five minutes of vacuuming and you notice how the nozzle noise and the suction power decrease within a few seconds.
It is interesting that the (really good) design is probably not protected by copyright. The same or similarly designed hoover is also available from other brands (see, for example, Bosch here on Galaxus).Pro
- detachable hand hoover
- swivelling base
- Handle allows loose hold when pulling backwards
Contra
- Very weak suction power
- Battery life and performance degrades badly over time
