I acquired one this week. I can't say I am thrilled about it.
We get them in the shop blocked up occasionally. I see no notable design or engineering there.
They're everywhere in the U.S, I've already fixed 3 of them for family friends.
Low quality plastics break easily, and the filter clogs almost immediately due to bad cyclonic separator design, (which obviously leads to motor failure if ignored)
Overall just badly designed machines. I personally think they look and feel really cheap/ugly/tacky, especially the power switches.
