It's funny, as soon as you criticise a product and point out some tests or shortcomings, you are attacked whether you are from the competition or otherwise connected with other manufacturers.
I've had this happen to me many times, where you want to give others the tip to look around before you simply order, but they don't want to hear it. I have stopped doing this, so everyone can make their own bad experiences.

That's what I thought about the previous model, but believe me, this appliance makes housework sooooo much easier and more bearable, no more mop and bucket. It's worth every centime!

Ps: do you work for the competition or are you employed to diss Kärcher products? It almost seems that way to me. So you're trying hard. Maybe a bit too much. A bit obvious.

I haven't emptied the battery by a long shot after about 70 square metres. The fact that I no longer sweat the floor while picking it up (with the much-loved mop) makes me happy. If that doesn't apply to other people, that's fine with me. I think the thing is great.
