With "pretty good purification results" and the test result "good" of Grundig VCC 4950 assessed in the test booklet 04/2013 of ETM. The successor VCC 4950 A is up to the required since September 2014 EU characteristics identical to the VCC 4950. Irrespective of this assessment, we provide you here first of all the important features of this bagless vacuum cleaner before:

• The On / Off Switch is left of the electronic suction regulator attached. The controller can be infinitely adjusted up to 2000 watts, the volume is at the maximum power 72 dB (A).

• The telescopic tube is plugged together with the handle and the various nozzles in a simple manner. In this case - unlike with most other vacuum cleaners - not a connector with a locking mechanism used. It is sufficient a small rotational movement and a slight pressure for the plugging together, the same also applies to the release of the connection.

• The following accessories are shipped with:
  • The standard floor nozzle , switchable by pressing the toggle switch between carpet and hard floor,
  • a rotatable 90 degrees " brush brush ", especially suitable for furniture,
  • a crevice tool for cleaning edges and corners as well
  • an upholstery tool for cleaning upholstery.

• The radius of action incl. 4.6 meter extension cable is 8 meters.

• The Owner's Manual While the Grundig VCC 4950 A contains no pictures, but so that the operation and function of the device are sufficiently detailed drawings and explanatory texts adequately described.

The Grundig VCC 4950 A has a radius of 8 meters. He has with A the best energy efficiency class, dust bag volume is 2.5 liters. 2.5 liter dust fit into the filter bag of the VCC 4950 A. About the suction regulator is the bag check indicator . If this ad to more than half indicating red, the dust bag should be replaced. As with other vacuum cleaners but the display can be red also appears when the dust bag is not yet full. Then a check of the suction channels is announced, perhaps they are blocked. To replace the filter bag of the dust compartment lid is opened, you pull out the full dust bag and pushes the replacement bag until it rests on the bracket. The Luftauslassfilter is no HEPA filter and can be purified by flicking and washing with hot water. All 6 to 9 months, he should be changed. For the motor protection filter (in front of the motor in the dust chamber) the same is true: he is cleaned when soiled by shaking and subsequently washing. Must replace one this Flter only if the contamination is so strong that manual cleaning is no longer sufficient. Since September 1, 2014, all newly sold vacuum cleaners must be marked with the EU energy label. The Grundig VCC 4950 A case reached the following values:

• Energy efficiency class: A
• Volume: 83 dB (A)
• Average annual energy consumption: 26 kWh
• Dust emission class: E
• Carpet Cleaning Class: F
• Hard floor cleaning Class: C

The VCC 4950 A thus achieved in the energy rating the best value to want to leave all other values left. In particular, the volume is likely to annoy the user. The Grundig VCC 4950 A weighs without vacuum cleaner around 5 Kg and comes with 3 additional nozzles delivered, which can be attached to the suction grip. It is easy to use, but lacking in the plug-in connections , the possibility of engagement of the items and a release button for disassembling. Cleaning - and filter technology, which are reported to the EU label for household appliances since September 1, 2014 are quite improved. We summarize briefly the essential characteristics of the VCC-4950 together:

• Bag capacity: 2.5 liters,
• Action radius: 8 m,
• Extension Cable: 4.6 meters,
• Energy efficiency class A,
• Volume 83 dB (A),
• Accessories: crevice nozzle, upholstery nozzle, dust brush, combi nozzle,
