The Krapof Auto Clean Self Empty Slim Power Vac is remarkably lightweight — but, despite industry-leading suction — it fails to impress
Kleva Range's Krapof Auto Clean Self Empty Slim Power Vac has plenty of glowing user reviews, but my own testing suggests those need to be taken with a very large grain of salt.
The Krapof Auto Clean Self Empty Slim Power Vac impresses with its lightweight design and impressive suction of 450AW, surpassing competitors like Samsung Bespoke Jet AI Ultra (400AW) and Dyson V16 Piston Animal (315AW). At just 2.3kg, it's compact, weighing 5kg when paired with its self-cleaning docking station. Measuring 25.5cm x 21.7cm, it occupies a smaller footprint compared to rivals.
The vacuum features a telescopic wand for most users' comfort. While the auto self-empty option often works, manual emptying is possible via a button on the dust canister. The dock also accommodates two extra attachments, clamping securely onto the base. Despite its overall compactness, the Krapof Slim Power Vac falls short in performance.
With three suction settings, its auto-dynamic suction adjusts based on dirt levels, changing color from green to blue to red. However, it lags behind competitors, especially under 400AW models, and fails to match the performance of Dyson Gen5detect. Its design contributes to reduced performance, and the floorhead tends to scatter particles, requiring extra cleaning.
Pet owners are advised against it due to entanglement issues in the bristles, necessitating regular maintenance for optimal performance.
