Customer Reviews

I read a lot of reviews, discussed the purchase with my family, but everyone dissuaded me (thought it was a waste of money). But I still bought the device and was very surprised by the quality of cleaning (given the fact that I have two small children, a dog and 3 cats). This is an unreal helper, and where I was before, all doubts.

A good device for dry and wet cleaning. The area is 24 square meters. The water tank is enough for 3 cleanings, at maximum water consumption. It easily crosses the threshold. The charge is enough to clean 3 times in a designated area.

It cleans everything, has enough charge for a long time, easily passes the threshold of 3 centimeters and tries to untie itself from the wires (if you forget to clean). The most important advantage is that it vacuums and cleans at the same time, and there is no need to rearrange the containers. Also, the vacuum cleaner itself leaves to recharge, and then continues to clean, which is very convenient.
