Efbe Schott VC33

Bought this as a replacement for my G-Tech which is getting on a bit! The first and most annoying bit was and is the smell! It absolutely stinks, and the whole house needed airing once I used it. I wrote to the service department but never had a reply back. It is good for cobwebs, but trying to do my carpets is a nightmare. I can go over and over the same spot and nothing happens. So my G-tech is back in business. It picks up all the cat hairs etc that this vacuum leaves behind. On the plus side, it is very easily manoeuvrable, and takes up little space. It is quite good for uncarpeted areas, but as my house is almost completely carpeted (just excluding the kitchen) it is a useless device for me.
