I have just received the Lupe and tried it, disappointed. The trash bin lid is hard to open. Have to press the latch release and use the other hand to manually flip open the lid. Also dog fur is stuck in the middle of the long flat rectangular bin. Had to use a stick to pull out the fur.
@PsyTruthSeeker Their response is repeating the instruction and told me to remove the cyclone part, which I've already done that. The lid never got easier to open. I had bought another one for my brother and his in-law and they don't have dog fur but encountered the same issues with opening lid with two hand and debris stuck in the middle of the canister. When you have the lid and the cyclone open trying to dump the debris, now dusts and coming out from both ends. We both returned our vacuum and cost $125 each to ship back from USA to UK.
Great clear review - Thanks. In the UK not actually launched until next month (March 22) However order placed a month ago. Love the ethos about replaceable parts. The actual vacuum is more powerful than most due to the revolutionary front roller sealing the vac are. I have sent too many 3-4-year-old vacs to the refuse tip as parts were not available. Well done Lupe!
It was definitely launched already although I do see they’re accepting pre orders again. It must be a stock issue as it was 100% released already in uk and Ireland
@@ModernCastle I actually just emailed today. They have a batch due so any orders placed before 6th March will get their delivery by mid March. Any orders after that will be delivered in May.
BUSCEMI. The feet on the canister should slide or fold out so they don't look like a design afterthought. Also, the tube doesn't fit into the tube slot?! Go home tube! Tubes are gross, they should go behind the canister anyway, but if they're going to be visible they should at least tuck tightly into a slot. Super great vac though, great design principles. I'm hoping v2.0 gets some aesthetic love, especially considering the price.
I'm super interested in this vacuum. What I dislike is the second brush role that can get easily tangled. I'm searching for a way to build some kind of hair combs for anti tangle. Are there any ideas if I can somehow modify the vacuum head? Would appreciate any suggestions?
Commercial corded models are nothing special. The ones I've tested in the past aren't the types of vacuums you'd actually want in your home. They are basic, but designed for long-term use with easily (and cheaply) replacement parts. That's it.
Is it a mop too or no?! I just cannot figure it out ?! Should i have a vacuum robot and the cordless vacuum or one of them?! Can you help?! I want a vacuum and a mop at the same time as i don’t like rugs so mop is an essential to me
It is just a vacuum, no mopping function. I personally think a robot + a cordless is the way to go. That's the setup I use in my home. Getting a robot vacuum with a mop + vacuum is nice. moderncastle.com/robot-vacuums/ - check out our review of the Roborock S7+ and Narwal T10. Good vacuum / mop combos.
@@ModernCastle so you have both in your house?!! Don’t you think it kinda buying two vacuums but with a different looks with a little difference between them?! Am trying to figure out the best ?! The roborock s7 is one of the brands that i am thinking of
@@suzansh4582 There's a big difference between the Roborock S7+ and Narwal T10. Roborock is a vacuum first, mop second. Narwal is a mop first, vacuum second...however, the vacuum on the Narwal is honestly just bad. So I never use it for vacuum and only use it as a mop. While the S7 has the mop attachment, I end up using the Narwal as a dedicated mop and the S7 as a dedicated vacuum...that way both vacuums just do what they do best.
This cordless seems to do everything well but pick up long hair without getting tangled. That's the one thing that's the most important to me owning a very long haired pekingese. Until they fix that problem I'm going to have to pass.
@@ModernCastle The $900 Lupe has two batteries, but yeah not cheap. Dyson V15 Detect is $749 and the Dyson Outsize Absolute+ $899 so I guess it's inline with it's competition? Although it's a corded upright my benchmark is still the Sebo Felix $699, as in I could pay less for a Sebo Felix or this.
This vacuum while getting great reviews and the concept of ungradabilty being great, the darn thing is ugly, it looks like a Starwars vacuum belonging to the empire. If you're going to pull this off your going to have to at least add some color to the dang thing and add anti hair wrap to it. I've considered based on review but at the end of the day, I don't want a Starwars imperial trooper vacuum. Even if it means buying new vacuums every couple years.
