📚December 2024 Book Review📚

Happy New Year everyone! And to end it up with only one day of delay here's the last reviews for 2024!

Alias Grace by Margaret Atwood

It was interesting but not my favorite Atwood so far. Grace's point of view was sometimes hard to follow, but the change of writing style to mark the difference of class and education between her and the doctor was a meaningful choice. I liked the mystery, the contradicting versions of what happened and the confusion of the poor doctor trying to unravel all this.

I am not opposed to open endings so the lack of answers at the end was not a problem to me but I understand that it can bother others. When you write about real events it's delicate to whether someone is or isn't guilty, better to let the readers judge by themselves.

Le Père Porcher (Chroniques du Disque-Monde #20) by Terry Pratchett

I wanted to reread it for Christmas season and, for a twist, to read the french translation by Patrice Couton. I don't credit translator enough but I always heard the highest praise for his work on the Discworld Novels. They are well deserved, the translation is amazing! Incredible work on the names, hilarious translations of the puns, it works so well! The story itself is just as good as I remembered, Death is really an amazing character.

Soie by Alessandro Baricco

I don't see the appeal. There is some nice writing, the repetitive aspects give it a nice fairy tale vibe but that's it. It barely mention the journey to Japan, barely mention silk. Which is the damn title. Instead you have a guy that travels across Europe and Asia to cheat on his wife. This wasn't was I hoped for from the title and blurb, I am just disappointed.

A Day of Fallen Night (Root of Chaos #0) by Samantha Shannon

I loved The Priory of the Orange Tree when I read it three years ago so I was excited to read the prequel. If you are like me and picked if long after reading book 1, I strongly recommend catching up on the lore before reading and if you haven't read book 1 yet DO NOT start with A Day of Fallen Night: this might be a prequel but it is not an introduction.

That said I loved it, convoluted and lore heavy as it is: it brings back all the places I loved in book 1 with even more details put on the world building and tradition. The multiple point of views are well used and they come together in really satisfying ways. Even if the threat is more or less the same as in The Priory of the Orange Tree the way they figure a solution and the fight was so good!

Retour à St Mary (Cosy Christmas Mystery #1) by Carine Pitocchi

Plain bad, and that's not the just me saying it, that's 100% of my local book club. Don't hope for a whodunit, the mystery barely qualifies as a police novel, the investigation is confusing and the culprit, obvious. This is also half of a Christmas cheesy hallmark romance. The bad half that is, because at the end Unsufferable Female Lead takes a train and just leaves behind Secretly In Love Childhood Best Friend Who Happens To Be An Anglican Priest For Some Reason Male Love Interest. It just sucks. Don't bother.

The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson

I really liked it, the main character spiralling down pulled me down two and at several moments I was genuinely spooked. I read it a little too quickly to fully appreciate it tho I think, I will need to reread it again!

Prince Caspian (The Chronicles of Niania #02) by C S Lewis

I don't really have much too say. Just like the first book I had watched the movie a hundred times before and I was just too old for it. It is a cute story tho, I love the talking animals, especially Reepicheep.

Winter Spirits short story collection

Overall a nice read: this is an anthology featuring 12 different authors which means 12 different spin on the spooky christmas ghost story. There's only one I actively didn't like and four where I went to check what else the author had done because I needed to study how their brain worked. I originally picked the book because it features a story by Stuart Turton, who wrote The Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle. His story is good but I especially loved those by Laura Shepherd-Robinson, Andrew Michael Hurley, and Natashe Pulley.

The Agatha Christie Book Club #1 by C A Larmer

This was fun but not as good as reading an Agatha Christie novel. The investigation is a little convoluted, with clues that aren't really clear to the reader. And honestly if I were the characters being interviewed by the book club member twenty seven times in one week I too would have been annoyed and slammed the door. It was a bit frustrating that the pay off required to have biographical knowledge of Christie's life. It was all explained in the end but you couldn't really follow along. The book is good but my expectations were miscalculated, I'll adjust when reading the rest of the series.

The Stardust Grail by Yume Kitasei

This wouldn't be enough to call it Indiana Jones And The Last Crusade In Space but this is very much what it is. And more. It has some really cool element of world building and alien species with complex history and dynamics. The characters were very good too, the relationship between Uncle and Maia I was especially fond of, medic is touching too, I just took most of the book to warm up to Will. Emotional, action packed, full of twist and investigation and museum heist. Very warm recommendation.

Summer Sons by Lee Mandelo

Gut punches galore. It had been a long time since I read a horror novel that genuinely scared me and boy was I scared. I have next to zero knowledge of the US South but the description were so vivid I could feel the heat. Also a gold star for most fucked up gay relationship to Andrew and Eddy, this should be so hot but somehow it is, good luck to Sam unpacking this mess.

A Local Habitation (October Daye #2) by Seanan McGuire

This. Was. Wild. Never saw so many deaths and especially main characters narrowly avoiding death I was SO SURE I had figured it out and in the end I was barking at the wrong tree. What a ride. I am growing very fond of October Daye and I hope we get to see more of Quentin too because he's a good kid. I was promised by

Follow me

Sometimes, a new IG follow doesn't tell the whole story.

Like this one, during the week-end:

Who is Lorraine Larmer? On face value, a very selective, private IG account.

And, of course, just another LVMH PR or marketing executive. Something that happened before and seems to be C"s New Normal. Networking is the name of the game:

...but also, at the same time and within the same group:

At this point, I would have happily ended my quick overview, thinking that it was a new business contact and that C (as S) is networking with an agenda. You know, the usual.

Something caught my eye:

An MA in PR at the Technological University Dublin, class of 2002, technically places LL in the same generation with C (and myself, LOL). What were the chances, then?

This is, nay contest, the same LL:

The account seems unused or marked private since at least 2012 (I am conservatively generous, here). No content filters have been applied as far as contacts go. Same Uni reference (BA at the University College Dublin), but also (hello, there)  St Louis Secondary School Monaghan.

Bingo! What if?

Let's see her friends:

You cannot add the Sybil of Tydavnet, but...

... technically you could, if you were foolish enough, message her. Something I would never do: this account is more private than Fort Knox and was active at least by July 2013.

In other words, you'd have to be friends with one of LL's friends to be able to add C on FB.

Not all follows are new, not all follows are meaningless. C and Larmer have known each other for a very long time.

More often than not, on Insta, the owls are not what they seem.

Goals

A note on list:

Arranged in chronological order, from the ancient Greeks to 2018. They are basically grouped by nationality, era, and in some cases, theme or genre- the way they were grouped in the college courses that I had the pleasure to read some of them for. You can also find a scrambled version of the same list at goodreads.com/larmer, if you view the shelf called "english-majors-library" and set it to "infinite scroll" to view it all on one page.

A note on ISBN:

Below each title, I have included the ISBN (the number that begins with 978). Of course, that means that all you have to do is copy and paste that code into a search bar on whatever site you buy your books from (amazon.com, bookdepository.com, etc.), to find the edition that the list refers to.

Why did I do something as crazy as include the ISBN for each book? For one thing, some of these editions include introductions and essays that have helped me think about them more deeply, or think about them in new ways, which has allowed me to enjoy them more.

Perhaps more importantly, some of these ISBN's simply refer to the edition with the coolest cover. To me, there is something special about the look of a shelf where most of the books match, for example, a row of Penguin Classics. Or at least, when the spines of books by the same author match. When I was a kid, I read series. Now I feel that the best books ever written form their own series. It seems right that they should fit together physically, as well. The ISBN's are there just in case you feel the same way.

*

- I will not list the readings for the entire History of Literary Criticism and Theory. The works listed above are the essentials that still hold up today.

I have omitted what Harold Bloom dismisses as the "School of Resentment" in his book, The Western Canon.

Bloom points out the problem with reading a text in terms of whatever ideology one wishes to impose on it (Feminist, Marxist, Lacanian, New Historicist, Deconstructionist, Semiotician, etc.), rather than simply reading in order to "confront greatness." For example, if we read Hamlet through a feminist or Marxist lens, we may end up with insights about feminism or Marxism, but not necessarily about Hamlet (source: the book, The Western Canon, as well as https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harold_Bloom).

Bloom suspects that people do not simply value classics due to social conditioning. To read more about how human behavior and values come from human nature, and not from social conditioning, here is the definitive book on the subject:

- Steven Pinker, The Blank Slate: The Modern Denial of Human Nature

/ Penguin, 9780142003343

/ Mariner, 9780544002340

*

- Stephen R. C. Hicks, Explaining Postmodernism

/ Ockham's Razor, 9780983258407

*

Louise M. Rosenblatt's Transactional Theory has been most informative to my understanding of what reading consists of.

- Literature as Exploration (1938)

The 5th End of the Road Festival at Larmer Tree Gardens.

The 4th EOTR that I attended (3rd as a steward for Wicked Events / EOTR).

It’s always lovely to see the peacocks at Larmer Tree Gardens during the festival.

Allo Darlin’ played the Tipi stage on the Friday afternoon. 

Here We Go Magic (from New York) played the Big Top stage on the Friday night.

C W Stoneking played the Garden stage on Friday afternoon. (video)

Time for a photo with fellow stewards (off duty) on the Monday morning after the festival. Cheers to John, Steph, Chris & David. The Big Top is in the background.

Bummelum i Beijing

Af John

Det er onsdag den 10. juli og klokken er 14.00 dut. Jeg sidder hjemme. Jeg har egentligt været på arbejde i dag, men måtte tage hjem. Hvorfor skal jeg nok komme tilbage til. Suz er ude og fouragere sammen med sine veninder fra Tyskland, Schweitz, og Holland – det varer nok nogle timer før jeg ser hende. Radioen er tændt. Der er Metallica maraton på P6 som lige er startet og forventes at vare i 6 timer. Det kan godt være det bliver for meget, men lige nu er det interessant og fint. Jeg gider næsten ikke starte arbejdscomputeren op, da de tekster jeg skriver på lige nu er tunge og det kan være svært at holde fokus hver dag i mange timer uden regnearkets afvekslende skønhed. Ikke fordi jeg er træt af det, men mere fordi jeg har siddet og skrevet meget på Engelsk i den seneste tid og det kan godt være befriende ikke at skulle lede efter ordene og bare lade det flyde som det kommer, uden absolut at skulle kloge sig og være den eneste som forstår den rette vej mod det effektive klimasamfund. Ja hvor skal jeg egentlig begynde. Jeg tror lidt baggrundsviden kunne være et godt sted at starte med.

I vores familie taler vi pænt. Det betyder vi bruger pæne ord om de ting der måske er knap så pæne. Det betyder blandt andet, at når man skal lave stort, så hedder det Bummelum og når man skal det andet hedder det Bimmelim. Bagdelen hedder mølle, hvilket giver udtrykket ”først til mølle” et helt nyt perspektiv. Som sagt – vi taler pænt.

Mit arbejde ligger ca. 12,5 km fra vores bopæl og det er en lidt kedelig bygning med 23 etager, hvor jeg sidder på 22. sal i en lille bås på ca. 1½ x 2 meter med metal og glasafskærmning. Tænk på et kontorlandskab i en Amerikansk film og så kan I sikkert se båsens størrelse for jer. Det er samme koncept. Jeg deler rummet med nogle Kinesere som arbejder for et Tysk selskab GIZ (Gesellshaft fur zusammenarbeid – det kunne være en tekst over døren til et Tysk fængsel). De er der næsten aldrig og når de er der taler vi meget lidt med hinanden på grund af meget forskellige arbejdsområder og sprog forbistring på deres side – ikke mig. Der er faktisk kun en som taler et nogenlunde Engelsk. Den anden ting som er meget karakteristisk i bygningen er ”stå” toiletter, dvs. der er ikke nogen mulighed for bare at sidde på en bænk og lade bummelum falde ned i søen. Man skal ned på hug med de risici det indebærer både med hensyn til at komme op igen men lige så meget i forhold til hvor den nu lander. Det tror jeg ikke jeg kan klare. Kender man lidt til hvor lidt bøjelig jeg er i hofteleddet forstår man min bekymring. I Beijing er det almindeligt at begge toilet typer er til stede, dvs. man kan ofte ty til handikap toilettet for at finde den korrekte model, men det er bare ikke muligt på mit arbejde.

Jeg besluttede allerede fra starten, at det er en øvelse jeg ikke kommer til at udføre. Jeg har til min egen store tilfredshed og ikke mindst stolthed undgået disse uhyrlige stå toiletter når den står på Bummelum i nu 1½ år, men i dag var der så krise. Ikke at jeg var ude i en Kleopatra’s forbandelse, hvor det virkelig er akut og der ikke er nogen løbetid - men mere en situation, hvor jeg måtte tage hjem, hvilket kun er sket to gange før. Efter frokost måtte jeg kaste håndklædet, give op, haste hjem og overgive mig til naturens orden. Jeg cyklede hjem gennem Beijing i ca. 34 ̆C, alene med det foresæt at finde et ordentligt toilet.

Som altid cykler jeg det meste af turen på den gade som hedder Chang’an Avenue, som går fra vest mod øst - syd om den forbudte by og det centrale Beijing hen over Tia’men pladsen foran den forbudte by, hvor der er en stor flagstang som markerer centrum for Riget i midten. Det er altid en dejlig og begivenhedsrig tur og det er virkelig en af de ting jeg kommer til at savne når jeg nu engang om ca. ½ år vender tilbage til lille Danmark. Særligt i dag var det vigtigt at tænke på noget andet, være opmærksom på omgivelserne og aflede opmærksomheden fra det som nu pressede sig på. Jeg brugte derfor tiden gennem byen til at tænke på hvilke forandringer vi kommer til at se de næste årtier som følge af elektrificeringen af transportsektoren.

De første elektriske køretøjer ligner det som de erstatter. Det er vel naturligt og også i tråd med det man så dengang de første biler kom. De lignede hestevogne. Jeg tror vi kommer til at se en tilsvarende forandring med vores transportsektor hvor de første modeller ligner noget vi kender og at der efterfølgende dukker modeller og udformninger op som ingen har kunnet forestille sig. Det er jo også i den sammenhæng ”befriende” at læse for nyligt, at EU og Danmark har set det lys komme og har lavet en lovgivning som sikrer at de nye køretøjer larmer med kunstig motorstøj lige så meget som de gamle, selvom mange elbiler i virkeligheden alligevel stopper automatisk før de rammer forhindringer.

Her i Kina er kreativiteten stor og godt båret på vej af en åben lovgivning, som tillader meget forskellige køretøjer og befordringsmidler. Jeg skal ikke trætte med lange beskrivelser men blot placere nogle billeder som viser mangfoldigheden.

Mine funderinger på vejen hjem blev i virkeligheden kickstartet af et underligt køretøj, som pludselig kom mod mig på turen hjem – selvfølgelig mod ensrettet kørselsretning. Jeg fik desværre ikke taget noget billede, så I må nøjes med en beskrivelse. Hvis I nu forestiller jer en tre-hjulet børnecykel med to baghjul og et forhjul, så er det noget lignende. Pedalerne er pillet af forhjulet og i stedet er monteret en lille platform til fødder lignende dem man ser på kørestole. Der er sat lidt større hjul på i forhold til børnecyklen, men ikke meget, men dog med gode gummidæk. Da køretøjet er beregnet til voksne er styret hævet op i en mere fornuftig højde i forhold til børnecyklen. I stedet for det normale børnesæde er der i stedet monteret noget som mest af alt ligner sædet fra en skrivebordsstol med høj ryg og armlæn i nappa eller læder. Hvorvidt stolen er roterbar ved jeg ikke men den så behagelig ud. Den var elektrisk og jeg antager den lige som de fleste to- og trehjulede el-køretøjer samt tuk-tuk’s i Beijing kan køre op til 25 km/h. Jeg vil kalde den en kørende skrivebordsstol men bestemt en interessant og behagelig løsning som jeg så den i forbifarten.

Så nu sidder jeg hjemme, trykket er lettet og der er ikke gået dårlig mave i den. Metallica ruller stadig i radioen og jeg overvejer om vi skal gense filmen ”Some kind of Monster” igen, som programmet uden blusel udråber som verdens bedste film. Den er go – I må få den set hvis ikke I har set den før.

Klokken er 16.30 – Suz er stadig ude – tror godt den kan bære en fyraftensøl – ja det er onsdag – men hva faen – livet skal leves.

Nogle modeller har automatisk opladning, så ved at vælge en ikon med dette, slipper alternative for selv at være forpligtet til flytte støvsugeren, når batteriet er fladt. Mange vælger at sætte robotstøvsugeren til at starte på et fast dag i ugen, men du kan også sætte støvsugeren i gang med et enkelt klik inden du tager hjemmefra. Motoreffekten bliver den mængde energi, totalitet bedste støvsuger i test støvsugeren samlet set benytter, mens sugeeffekten er nogen energi, støvsugeren kan suge med. Her får du et topprodukt, som samtidig er testvinder hos forbrugerstyrelsen til en meget rimelig pris. Som udgangspunkt bliver det ikke nærmere beskrevet af producenten, hvilken klike HEPA filteret er til. Dog er de fleste HEPA filter udstyret impliceret en høj optagelsevne.

Dermed kan alternative også forvente en lang levetid, hvilket gør det til en attraktiv mulighed. Det grundlæggende du bemærker med Miele Complete C3 Silence til hånden er, hvor voldsom og velfungerende en bedste støvsuger, du har at gøre med. Kan motoren køre i samtlige 550 timer er resultatet rigtigt godt - det evner de bedste maskiner klare - men mange bryder sammen undervejs. Roomba 620 er en generel robotstøvsuger, som udelukkende er til indendørs brug. Desuden har den også en ekstra lang ledning, der giver en aktionsradius på op til 12 meter.

IRobot 615 kan ca. Køre 1 time af en opladning på 3 timer. Er mærket og produktet godt, så ville der være andre som havde skrevet om det og solgt det også. Det er nogle lille og fiks 100% digitalalarm, hvilket sikrer, i den hensigt at der ikke er interferens (støj) fra andre babyalarmer. I vores støvsuger test studentereksamen havde vi nogle bestemte kriterier, som vi indehaver fokuseret på i over samtlige tests. Complete C3 er nogle støvsuger test i en en del højere prisklasse fra Miele, og den har ligeså en del smarte funktioner. Med denne fjernbetjening kan du blandt andre typer styre sugestyrken. I Tænk's test får Electrolux ZUOORIGWR+ også topkarakter, så heromkring er også enighed blandt eksperterne. Som er ingen tvivl ifald, at uanset hvilket beboelse du har, ville mange robotstøvsuger være en kæmpe hjælp i en topmoderne hverdag.Støjniveauet ligger ligevis væsentligt under gennemsnittet fortil mange andre støvsugere. På den måde opnås en mere sofistikeret og effektiv rengøring i rum med mange møbler og forhindringer. Vores abitur er bedste støvsuger foregået over længere tid i flere beboelse af forskellig størrelse plus type. Bosch har herefter en markedsandel på 5, 7%, hvilket er lidt overraskende, siden de også har nogen gode modeller på markedet.Så det larmer lidt mindre end normal støvsugning, men er selvfølgelig stadig kedeligt at høre på. Miele Scout RX1 rød er delagtig sine 35 cm lagt i diameter og 8, 8 cm i højde mange lille smart robotstøvsuger, som arbejder systematisk, Hurtigt og effektivt og naturligvis også når du ikke er hjemme. Ofte vil nogle bedste støvsuger have bedre kunnen på hårdt gulv end på gulvtæppe.

The Predators Don’t Need An Ovechkin Or A Crosby

The Stanley Cup playoffs begin today, and the Presidents’ Trophy-winning Nashville Predators enter as the betting favorites. You may recall Nashville’s Cinderella run to the Stanley Cup Final last spring as the lowest-seeded playoff team, and it did so largely thanks to the red-hot play of goalie Pekka Rinne. The 2016-17 Preds ultimately fell two games short of claiming the franchise’s first Stanley Cup (Sidney Crosby and company had other plans), but this season’s iteration has a chance to make that disappointment feel like a distant memory.

To be sure, last season’s Predators and this season’s Predators are two very different teams. In 2016-17, Nashville finished tied for the fewest wins in regulation and overtime among teams that qualified for the playoffs. This season, the Preds tied for third most. And it’s not as though their scoring totals are especially gaudy — they finished in a tie for seventh in goals for, 29 behind the league-leading Tampa Bay Lightning.

But there is one thing this year’s Predators have in common with last year’s: They’re succeeding without a bona fide offensive star. No Predator scored more than 61 points last year, and it’s been more of the same this season. Seven Predator forwards finished with at least 35 points, but none eclipsed 64. Four Predator forwards scored at least 23 goals, but there’s not a 30-goal scorer in the bunch. Nashville has plenty of players who can hurt opposing defenses, but it doesn’t have a Connor McDavid or an Alexander Ovechkin. Which is to say, it doesn’t have a single skater who is capable of changing a game by himself.

You might expect this from a team that nabbed the last spot in the playoffs, but it’s quite unusual for a Presidents’ Trophy-winning team. In the more than three decades that the award has been handed out, Nashville has the lowest top scorer of any team to receive it.1

If anything, this shows just how effective the Predators have been on the blue line and between the pipes. Rinne, at 35 years old, is having the best season of his career in terms of quality start percentage, and his marks for both save percentage and goals against average are better than his career averages. And among goalies who’ve played at least 1,500 minutes this season, Rinne ranks fourth in goals saved above average. As we’ve said before, though, goaltending is unstable — and no amount of great goaltending can make up for bad defensive play. Fortunately for Nashville, its roster is stocked with some of the best defensemen in the NHL.

Captain Roman Josi and P.K. Subban have each put together a solid case for the Norris Trophy, awarded to the league’s best defenseman, while Ryan Ellis and Mattias Ekholm each rank in the top 15 among qualifying defensemen2 in Corsi for percentage, which estimates a player’s possession rate by measuring the percentage of shot attempts directed at his opponent’s net versus his own net while he’s on the ice. Factor in Matt Irwin and Montreal Canadiens castaway Alexei Emelin — and the exceptional play of Rinne behind them — and Nashville’s defensive unit conceded the second fewest goals in the NHL.

Of course, sound defenses aren’t solely the result of good goalie and defenseman play. That tired old adage — that the best defense is a good offense — is true, especially in the case of the Predators. Despite their lack of an offensive superstar, the Predators rank second in goals for percentage3 and ninth in Corsi for percentage. They’ve built one of the more efficient offenses in the NHL not on the back of one superstar, but on the backs of many good to very good players.

And even though the lack of at least one high-scoring superstar is uncharacteristic of a Presidents’ Trophy-winning team, it’s not necessarily unheard of for a Stanley Cup-winning team — although it’s rare. Since 1986, five teams have won the Stanley Cup without a 70-point scorer. None of those teams were the best regular-season team, but Stanley Cup glory can come from unexpected scoring outbursts and hot goaltending.

The 2003 New Jersey Devils and the 2011 Boston Bruins are each a very good analog for this year’s Predators. Neither team had a player score more than 62 points in the regular season, but each was the beneficiary of timely postseason scoring streaks. In the 2003 playoffs, the Devils got 18 points in 24 games from Jamie Langenbrunner and 10 goals from Jeff Friesen, who scored only 23 in the regular season. In 2011, it was David Krecji who stepped up for Boston — he notched 23 points in 25 postseason games and scored on 21.1 percent of his shots (a far better rate than his career mark of 12.2 percent).

Each team also benefited from hot goalie play: The Devils’ Martin Brodeur stopped 93.4 percent of the shots he faced in the playoffs after stopping just 91.4 percent of the shots he saw during the regular season, while the Bruins’ Tim Thomas stopped an astounding 94 percent of the shots he faced in one of the more memorable playoffs for a goalie in league history.

In other words, Nashville may have been more of an outlier for the Presidents’ Trophy because it doesn’t possess a stud (or several studs) who put up big numbers over the course of 82 games. But who wants that trophy anyway? The teams that claim it traditionally flop come springtime. Just ask the Washington Capitals. But if the Predators are able to steal a page from the playbooks of the 2003 Devils and the 2011 Bruins, the catfish will fly come June.

Støvsuger du normalt hver anden støvsuger bedst i test dag, vil du impliceret hjælp af en daglig runde af robotstøvsugeren, magte nøjes med at hive den almindelige støvsuger frem en gang hver fjortende dag.

Med dette har du ikke behov for at skifte mundstykke for i den hensigt at tilpasse det til enten hårdt gulv eller gulvtæppe. I en anden svensk test i fra 2013 deler Neato XV25, Roomba 780 og Phillips HomeRun førstepladsen med 4 ud af 5 stjerner. Det konstateres i avisens test at støvsugerne hver har en god sugeevne, mens de afgørende forskelle ligger i støjniveauet, håndtering og ledningslængde.

Ideelt for støvsuger bedst i test allergikere og andre, hvad irriteres af luftbåret støv. Desuden vil man gøre klogt i at finde nogle model med en langagtig ledning, så man aldeles ikke skal finde en moderne stikkonstant ofte. Vi indehar dog alligevel prøvet i den hensigt at lave en fair parabel. Begge støvsugerhoveder er også lave nok lagt i, at de nemt kan komme under sofaer plus andre møbler. Med en rengøringsevne svarende til karakteren D, både støvsuger bedst i test på hårde gulve plus på gulvtæpper, er som tale om en støvsuger med en sugeevne igennem middel, som det ligevis bemærkes i denne test.
