Small vacuum cleaner, great performance. The thoroughness of the VC 5 Premium handheld vacuum cleaner is just as impressive as that of a canister device, despite its extremely compact design. Thanks to Kärcher's patented triple-telescope system, the vacuum cleaner can be reduced to half its original size, so that it takes up very little room when stored in even the smallest household. The particularly compact dry floor nozzle with special air channel and flexible joint was designed especially for the VC 5 Premium and delivers maximum cleaning power, despite the vacuum cleaner itself consuming very little power. The VC 5 Premium's bagless filter system with integrated filter cleaning is also exceptional: instead of purchasing expensive filter bags, you simply remove the filter box to quickly empty it. In addition, the Kärcher VC 5 (white) Premium version has extensive accessories with which you can not only vacuum all hard floors and carpets, but also effortlessly and thoroughly clean narrow spaces and sensitive surfaces.
Dear Agony Auntie,
I'm in a bit of a pickle. I recently went on a trip, and, like any Joburger would, overpacked. Fast forward, and it turns out that OR Tambo takes weight limits very seriously. In a bizarre striptease, pulling out clothes and shoving them into my carry-on, I was involved in a heated argument with the x-ray machine.
Was I wrong? Are the air gods mad at me? Any tips on travelling light, or should I just invest in a larger bag?
Dear anonymous,
You were probably wrong. Packing is a fine art, and it takes experience to master the balance between "I might need this" and "I won't wear this once." But don't let this luggage fiasco ground your spirits! Fly through future trips stress-free by investing in our deal on a Mooistar 3-Piece Hard Shell Luggage Set.
