Plastic is not cheap and does not stink, all nozzles are clearly mounted on the pipe, do not play or jump off, the front small wheels that turn are rubberized, the rear ones are not, but I don’t see the point in this either. On the front corners there are rubber inserts that protect both the vacuum cleaner and furniture from bumps and scratches. The hose rotates 360 degrees. During operation, the power indicator is very bright. Aqua box is very easy to emble and disemble. We immediately began to try it out. We did not think that we had so many dirty carpets and rugs. It dust much stronger than the previous vacuum cleaner, although the previous one has a motor power of 2200 W, while Thomas has 1700 W. (for those who are chasing the suction power indicator - there is no single standard in the world how to measure it, so individual manufacturers measure it by pulling out all the filters from their device). It very strongly, but brushing the carpet is not difficult. We have a cat, he collected wool from carpets and rugs. How much he ed up for one cleaning of dirt and wool, the previous vacuum cleaner collected for 3 - 4 cleanings. The carpets became more saturated right before our eyes. It took exactly 4 minutes to wash the aqua box, despite the fact that his wife wiped it with a dry cloth. It's time for wet cleaning. The floors were very shiny after cleaning, about the same amount of dirt was collected from carpets and rugs as when it was dry. After wet cleaning, washing all the elements took 17 minutes. Cleaning with him began to take a little more time, but it's worth it. Added a year later at the request of his wife, because. she uses it: we use it 2-3 times a week, we are very satisfied with the sink, nothing broke or burst, the power on was slightly rubbed. I advise everyone. In the summer, with its help, they washed the carpet in the country, without it it was not washed, you wet it with a gun, you rub it with a brush, you collect it with a vacuum cleaner.
