Description:
The Man Who Loved Children is Christina Stead's masterpiece about family life. Set in Washington during the 1930s, Sam and Henny Pollit are a warring husband and wife. Their tempestuous marriage, aggravated by too little money, lies at the centre of Stead's satirical and brilliantly observed novel about the relations between husbands and wives, and parents and children.
Sam, a scientist, uses words as weapons of attack and control on his children and is prone to illusions of power and influence that fail to extend beyond his family. His wife Henny, who hails from a wealthy Baltimore family, is disastrously impractical and enmeshed in her own fantasies of romance and vengeance. Much of the care of their six children is left to Louisa, Sam's 14-year-old daughter from his first marriage. Within this psychological battleground, Louisa must attempt to make a life of her own.
First published in 1940, The Man Who Loved Children was hailed for its satiric energy. Now its originality is again lauded by novelist, Jonathan Franzen, in his illuminating new introduction.

Works just as well as the official parts, for less
Color: Omni S1 Pro 17P
Been going through these for about two years now across multiple replacements and they perform just as well as the official Eufy parts. Main brush, side brushes, filters, dust bags, mop — all fit correctly and do the job without any issues.
Honestly if you’ve got a Eufy Omni S1 Pro, just buy these instead. No reason to pay extra for the official kit when these hold up just as well over time.

Not a good fit with the eufy
Color: Omni S1 Pro 17P
It’s a good value for all these pieces, but the dust bag does not fit well with the Juvi. I haven’t tried the other piece pieces. I will return it.

Mostly fine replacement parts
Color: Omni S1 Pro 17P
I can't get either of the rolling mops to snap into place no matter what i do, might have to tack on something so they stay in place. The main brush was a fine fit, but the side brushes seems more flat than the stock ones and it makes some weird noise now, they did snap on though. Filter was fine though and I haven't tried a dust bag yet, still good value even if I can't get the mops to fit for me!
