We were an early backer of the Lupe kickstarter campaign and are using the Lupe vacuum as our ‘daily driver’. First: Lupe delivers on all promises. No need to re-interate the marketing literature, very import to confirm that their claims are true. A few things are really remarkable: - Apple-esque unboxing experience. - Quality engineering. Everything has a heavy-duty, Audi-like feel to it. Things fit and click together. Trust inspiring for the long run. - designed with the end-user in mind. You can quickly reconfigure the machine on the go. No need to ponder how things work. - great suction power on high setting. - outer dimensions when stored are smaller than a regular ‘pull along’ vacuum. The machine spends more time in storage than in use. So it’s important that it doesn’t take up too much space in the cupboard. A few remarks - noise level on ‘high suction’ is okay. You can definitely hear it, but it’s not overly annoying. - battery runs 15 minutes on high. This is as promised, but on high you will deplete the battery in 15 minutes. But for both remarks: you won’t run it on high setting often because it’s is really, really powerful. Just like a turbo in a car; only in use when you need acceleration. Conclusion: Quality / price ratio is very good. Do not compare Lupe to some cheap ass vacuum because it is in a different league. Definitely buy this machine if you appreciate superior quality and understand this comes with a price tag.
