Leifheit Dry and Clean (Art. 51000): what works, what doesn't?
What works well
- Usable at 360°: horizontal, at an angle and overhead, so roof windows can be reached too
- Streak-free without polishing: wash, vacuum, done: no wiping afterwards needed on windows, tiles or shower cubicles
- Click system for handles: the patented attachment allows combination with various extension handles
- Standby automatic: saves battery when the device is briefly not moved
- Established brand: Leifheit is a well-known household manufacturer with stable spare-part supply
Points of criticism
- Shorter runtime: up to 38 min battery, less than endurance models with 100 min, a compromise in large flats
- Handles separate: for overhead cleaning of roof windows an extension handle is often needed, which costs extra
- Not compatible with the Professional series: the Click system does not fit the Leifheit Professional series
