This broom is great, certainly a little noisy (it still not be put on a helmet to protect themselves) but normal is the sound of brushes that rotate. It's fast, more dust fallout, unlike the broom. It passes easily under furniture with his elbow goes into every corner, is used on tile, carpet ... and to empty it's a breeze. You just clean it quickly after use but it is very easy. I recommend it to all those who want to make life easier every day.
