This bagless vacuum cleaner has the quality of being compact and powerful, it has a special floor brush that can suck without risk of scratching through very high stiff bristles. The device is very handy, it can be mounted very easily and the dust compartment is easy to open and empty. The suction pipe can easily be adjusted to the desired length by simply pressing a button. The power of the device is very good, it is of the highest efficiency. The advantage of bagless model is thus a saving on the purchase of bags. By cons, you have almost after each vacuuming empty the dust compartment. For noise, it actually as much as other vacuums, I really like the fact that it is compact by cons, the fastening system of the pipe is quite light and it may break over time, especially if one forgets to shorten the suction pipe, thus 4 stars instead of 5! But this is really a very very nice device !!!
