I got a packet!

Well it took its sweet time before I got my Vileda steam mop. Not until Friday did I receive the message that there was a packet waiting for me at the near by post office. The near by post office just happened to be in downtown Tampere, which meant that I would have to carry the packet through the city to bus and all the way home. So I went to pick it up and the first reaction to the Vileda I got already at the post office. Oh yeah the packet was not wrapped or anything, it just had a plastic slip that had my address. This meant that everyone would see it, thus the post lady could be intreguead about my Vileda.

Vileda Stam mop packet

 The packet was a bit more bigger than I had expected. The packet is about 69 cm high. The packet got some extra free visibility as I walked through Tampere with it. The handle was a nice touch, but as I on the smaller size (hight wise) it was really difficult to carry. I had to keep my hand in an angle to carry it from the handle. I would have placed the handle on a side, so everyone could carry it.

The handle and some damage on the packet

 The packet had experienced some damage, but not much. All damage was cosmetic in my opinion. I was surprised to see that the hatch on top was not taped or anything. Not that I mind that it wasn't as now it was really easy to open!

Tha-daa!

 The box is open! Then I tried to pull it out nicely, only to notice that all I got was a piece of cardboard. So I decided to take it out not so nicely and with a bit of force. I was not able to pull it out easily and I did not want to break the package either. At least not yet. So I did what everyone else would have done and turned the packet upside down... The first parts came out easily, but the bottom ones I had to help out with a hand. 

A mess pile

 The items included everything it said it would, so I did not need to complain and order a new one.

Items in order

 The items included a handle, the machine part, the floor part, the cleaning wipes and carpet thingy, cup and instructions in many languages. Next stage is showing the parts to you. So enjoy the next few pictures of the parts!

Handle. A long, long handle.

Measurement cup

The motor part or vapor part. Either or!

Snap! You can hear a click (very tiny click) when you push it down. Snaps with out force, just pushed it down.

Click. This one needs a bit more force, but was also quite easy to snap in place

Close up of the read part

 What I like about this already is the option to control the steam. When I opened the big red button cap, I noticed that there was some liquid inside already. I assume it is because someone has tested that this really works. How professional!

Here it is all up

Well here it is with the wire up also!

The wire does not seem to be that long. Quick test showed me that I can clean my living room with it and then I will need to change the socket. I would say my living room is about 20m2 if that helps with you. So here it is! My Vileda Steam mop unboxed and assembled. Next I will tell you how my first test with this went, and then how the Buzz to my friends went.
