hehe.. Sure MTDT, here's my reviews on Raycop:
Few questions:
1. is it eletricity or battery operated?
- electricity only (confirmed by Robovac also)
2. does it use any water (for steam effect, if any)?
- no (confirmed by Robovac also)
3. how frequent must we change the filter (if any)?
- There are 2 types of filter (cartridge filter and #M Hepa Micro filter)
- former is washable, as n when needed, latter has an alert indicator for replacement.
4. if there is a need to replace any parts (e.g. filter), where can I get it and how much?
- I saw the filter at the booth just now, but forgot to check the price. =p
5. do we have to remove the mattress cover for this cleaning? (sorry for this ignorant question as this kind of product is new to me)
- no need, as seen on the advertisement video
6. is this also effective for curtain cleaning?
- seems to be heavy to hold it vertically.
- the video clip showed that it can also kill the bacteria if it is held a few cm away from the surface. It uses the UV light to kill bateria. Personally I find it useful on soft toys and other non-flat areas.
7. Is there a bag to change?
- it was not mentioned, so I supposed no. I didn't explore much on the live set as I was captivated by the video clip. No sales staff there, I self-entertained myself. (luckily no auntie come over and ask me, "ah dee ah, this one ho yong boh?")
There's also some critics from other online users that the dust mites are so small, how do we actually justify if it really works? This one is really like, dunno what to say lah..
The online reviews that I've read are mostly positive, only a few negative ones mainly on the poor suction, no retraction to keep the cable and complicated startup steps (which I am not really sure on).
I leave it to our own judgement on how we take these online reviews, sometimes really dunno how true is it until we use it ourselves.
For me, I was actually convinced by the advertisement video (the japanese version (with English subtitle) - it has a TV showing the advertisement at Carrefour. There's English one also but I don't find it as convincing as the Japanese one).
It is quite heavy for a handheld vacuum. But on considering that I'll be "sliding" it to and fro, the weight is fine for me. I am considering this because it serves my needs on cleaning the bed (for dust mites) and it can also be used on other areas (e.g. soft-toys, diaper changing stn etc). And it is cheaper than other high-end products out there.
These are my observation as a consumer. Maybe all these comments will change after owning one.
I am not affiliated with this Raycop or its distributed ah. I am just a consumer and its my personal reviews only. Feel free to comment also ya. =)
But before u all decide to buy one, I think it's better to see the live set and get a demo first. Don't miss the advertisement video too.
Robovac, so how, got good offer for this forum or not?
