⚠️ Risk

The product poses a risk of electric shock because the hose on the item carries an electrical cable to the wand and the motorised cleaning head. Five instances have occurred where the hose has become excessively worn, resulting in exposure of electric cables which, if touched by the user, could cause an electric shock.
