First, the hose is to infect the body. That makes a moderately processed impression one has some gaps, so you have to hope for the tightness of the rubber seal. The handle system is forward of our 3-year-old Rowenta RO 5822 (with bag) known. Unfortunately, the execution is surprisingly poor in the RO 8324 - so the pipe snapped only after several attempts firmly by the handle. That works much more reliable on older equipment. The dust container - the big plus of the cyclone technology, because it makes the purchase of bags obsolete - can be easily removed, but use partly something hakelig again. Again, processing, fit and tightness affects not entirely convincing, it moves quite strong when it is used.
One of the great weaknesses of the older RO 5822 is the floor nozzle on carpet comes in almost every suction into the "stuttering" or "Shake", an even back and forth is because on our runners hardly possible. The nozzle at the RO 8324 looks very similar, but has more rubber rollers. An Improvement? Of this we read in the sequel to the RO 5822 anyway. In practice, the result is actually a bit better - unfortunately only a little. Furthermore, it often comes to stutter, only if you're getting a lot of secondary air through the grip, thereby reducing the suction power and the device is moving slowly, it comes to our runners to without shaking. Speaking of suction: this is surprisingly high for the low wattage of 750W. It also means that the power should correspond to 2100 watts. Therein lies a problem again. On carpet or vinyl flooring, the nozzle sucks easily fixed. Remedy can then offer only the air inlet on the handle on carpet because a separate control on the unit - as in conventional suckers usual - do not exist here. And as soon as you open the air supply, the effect of the admittedly rather silent running motor is limited by the air flow noise on the handle slightly. Probably it is due to the cyclone technology that you yourself can not slow down the device. Compared with RO 5822 he is a little louder, although the difference, according to product data makes up only 1 dB, particularly in the old device is generally half the force loose enough and the sound accordingly lower. Nevertheless, the RO 8324 is much quieter than z. B. our handset from Dyson (with cyclone technology) or conventional vacuum cleaners and with him you dare to suck to rest in apartment building. It is also good that the handle has integrated a small furniture brush that you if you want to suck even a bit sensitive point, z. B. a windowsill o. Ä., Can drive out after removing the tube. As with the already at RO 5822 very practical. Even better than the predecessor, the well 2 m long cable. The suction rolls well, at door thresholds, he may wobble due to the slightly elevated, narrow shape but on the individual front role.
The suction result is good, it accumulates alarmingly fast a lot of dirt and hair on. Emptying the container is quite good from the hand, but there are particular to the seals some dust where perhaps another fine dust filter or even still thicker seals would have made sense. Even the container during removal is ever inadvertently to - through the opening on the top but nothing usually go wrong.
As a result, this is an ordinary vacuum cleaner with potential for improvement. For about 260, - Euro (RRP even 329, -) I would have a little less hard plastic and a more convincing work and exact expected from the house of Rowenta. This has better like the RO 5822, which was even lower in the EIA as I recall (2013 was the RRP 229, -). But again, that the cyclone technique is usually a bit more expensive, but it saves holding the bag purchase. Whether it is enough to replace our "old", the time will only show.
