But this device has a crippling defect is its battery pack that is not expected to last more than 2, 3 years with normal use, this model is not battery Li-Ion, it comes a series of NIMH elements of an older generation who are sensitive to the memory effect and who can not stand to be recharged permanently without almost complete discharge. By definition these vacuum cleaners are sometimes used punctually few minutes to draw some crumbs or dust and so we absolve rarely thoroughly.
I can only advise against this unit, because I suspect Rowenta, like many others, use planned obsolescence to sell these products especially if the batteries.
Buy more Koreans like Samsung or LG products and the quality is really with go whether the refrigerator, ovens, washing machine, dish washer, it's something else and I have a feeling the manufacturer complies with its customers ..
My vacuum cleaner HS in 2 ½ years. Purchased in mid July 2012, HS battery in November 2014. Purchase price 120 compared to the price of the battery 85 if you do the replacement yourself or 110 euros for service
It takes some manufacturers stop taking consumers for fools.
Anyway, for me it's over Rowenta, its image has deteriorated, it looks like too much to disposable products.
