a aspi which did not last the masses since it burnt after 5 years, my mother's (the same) only 3 years! vacuum unwieldy relative to the other models Rowenta bag 5 liters but as the housing is smaller than the bag, it does not reach the 5 liters. I had this one with head delta that suited me well, now: too heavy! to which arms hurt, do not bother! plus I changed the brush during the life, and the filter medium. cord not long enough, as usual, we're not going away. I who was Dymbo I found it was 100 times better, and at least we could wear it. then decibels for today I think we can find a sound level somewhat similar (or little noisier) on other aspi. quality / price not good. have found better and cheaper.
