After using this vacuum cleaner Rowenta, which strikes me most is firstly its discretion (that's why it also is called Silence Force Extreme) and its very low consumption. Rowenta has focused on two points that are significant on such devices because often what their complaint was being too noisy; and low power consumption is a perfect fit with the current energy saving concerns in general. Low efficiency suction it was feared but it is not. After vacuuming few minutes in my house already seemed clean, I was surprised to see what was in the bag when I opened !! It is therefore possible to have an aspiring aspi well without a lot of noise. Nevertheless, I have not found this very handy product; the tube with the tip and the aspi itself seems a little heavy and difficult to maneuver. The integrated brush at the end of the suction pipe is a good idea because of the need to look everywhere. Aesthetic point of view, the whole is rather plain, although I find the plunging shape of the vacuum cleaner a little unsightly but this is only my opinion and then it does not detract from its technical qualities. Small detail, the fan grill is on the top of the unit and not in the back, this is the first time I see here but why not! Having already home a Philips vacuum cleaner with two handles (one front and one on the top), I regret that it does not possess one. I am satisfied with the quality of this vacuum suction of its discretion (noise) and especially low power consumption. I am less of its design and its handling. But I think that other manufacturers will be able to emulate this model and Rowenta really little "energy".
