My partner ordered one hoping
My partner ordered one of them without consulting me and my initial fears only took a few months to materialise. Design is mostly about looks at the expense of quality. If you must use plastic for everything, design it so it’s sturdy enough for normal use. As so often the weak point structurally is due to saving a tiny amount dirt cheap material on what is probably one of the cheapest components. I will give away for free that the container is far too small, we only have one calm clean cat and amazingly it’s full in less than a week and sucking power drops after 2 days if not emptied as the fluff prevents cyclonic movement. Also the LED light though not a bad idea is in the wrong bloody p’ace to be USEFUL though not as badly chosen as on e.g a DeWalt drill. If you’re going to try to seem smart by adding options, test them in practice instead of imagining on your designing screens. I won’t elaborate, not helping them improve for free.
It’s also sad to see how incomplete even objective online reviews of products are. They always miss half the problems and only seem to analyse the silly points like esthetics and price comparison, things every reading brain can already do for itself.
What is even more disappointing is that despite many products being around and developed since often a century, new designs often seem oblivious to solutions that already existed to improve past defects. It’s as if designers don’t actually use these kind of products themselves. Even the famously made into a movie mop and bucket redesign, while far more practical than before, is still conceptually a ridiculous « solution » to cleaning floors. Think about it a moment next time you do it.
PS for the reviewer upset about it not standing by itself (it’s worth repeating the idiocy of selling a non-standing upright hoover that rolls away anywhere you try to prop it up), I found a butchers hook and have just hung it from something protruding from the wall close to a plug.
