This vacuum is supposedly a revolutionary cordless machine, and the filtration system isn't even dual-cyclonic. That means LOTS of mandatory filter maintenance, just like the old days. Also the hose placement on the cleaner head easily doubles its height needlessly, meaning it can't get under low furniture that it otherwise should. Main carpet brushbar looks wimpy as well, and tiny in diameter (extra hair wrap).
They said in their video they used to work for Dyson, so maybe they can't throw a decent filtration system in it, out of fear, or contractual obligation. |

Just from repairing vacuums, I can't help but point out the obvious. If they're saying they've designed the best cordless vacuum ever, and backing it up with quality promotion, the product itself should be welcome to critique.
I like the idea of the product being easily repairable, with readily available parts. However, this is a Kickstarter, so hopefully that's all eventually possible. |

They had no presents at the VDTA. Nor are they selling parts or doing business with any wholesale vacuum supplier right now.
Gives me shark vibes but Looks like a Volwerk knock off . I contacted them about a sample a while ago they said they would get back to me when they're in production but didn't give any sort of time frame. I hope it's a good product Lord knows we don't need any more cordless junk. |

@luxlife Yeah, you're right, it would just get turned into an identity politics issue! lol
Personally, I kinda like Lupe (loo-pay) more than Loop. Brings back the days when things were named after people or places (which were usually also named after people). And Loop sounds kinda dumb. What's so loop-y about it, anyway? It's got a big ol' circle on it? Is that it, seriously? |

Did they actually compared it to the Dyson V10/11? I think I saw Dyson cleaning head in the comparison. I can already see Dyson suing Lupe if they show that it is better than Dyson. Unless it truly is better than Dyson.
