Decided to break from years of tradition buying machines from one of Lupe’s main competitors. The technology and design appealed to me so I have gone down the Lupe route. The machine is light. It is powerful ( the collector is always full ) and it is very manoeuvrable. The battery seems to last reasonably well, I say reasonably because I use cordless tools at work and they seem to have a greater runtime for the work they are carrying out. I suppose time will tell. The tools are the only apparent weak point I can identify, the mount spins around on the wand but it’s no biggie. The machine is used on hard floors, rugs and brick flooring which it copes with admirably. We have a hairy dog and a wood burner which create a lot of mess so the machine is used twice a day sometimes and it’s a much easier process than using the competitors machines. So overall chuffed with the Lupe machine.
