Customer reviews

"I have been using this vacuum cleaner for a couple of months now and I can say that so far it looks reliable and cleans well. The construction is decently assembled, no creaking or falling apart, on the carpet vacuum cleaner works more thoroughly. The device does not save and does not build cards, but its functions are enough for a small apartment. I can note the handy mobile app. It's a pity there are no additional parts for it. Therefore, the cost of this model could be significantly lower."
