Severin HV 7146: what works and what doesn't
What works well
- Wet & dry in one: picks up dust and up to 150 ml of liquid, handy for spilled drinks in the car or kitchen
- Rotating turbo brush: loosens pet hair, fine dust and allergens from upholstery, ideal for households with pets
- LED lighting: lights up dark footwells and corners so hidden dirt becomes visible too
- Up to 30 min in Eco mode: decent runtime for a handheld vacuum, can be used without stopping to charge
- Established brand: Severin offers more reliable support and spare-parts supply than no-name suppliers
Points of criticism
- Only 150 ml of liquid: meant for small mishaps, larger puddles or wet floors quickly exceed the capacity
- Wet use means cleaning: after picking up liquid, the container and rubber nozzle must be rinsed and dried, otherwise odours can develop
