This vacuum cleaner meets all by itself concentrated benefits. It is light and handy, small but powerful! I am a follower of Dyson for years and, I think it is a serious competitor Rowenta. In addition to hurricane strength, I also found the convenience of tips that are clipped in addition to follow suit. This prevents the brushes that remain on site! Viewpoint shapes and colors, it's really nice. He is not weak at all. It was rather like having a well-studied and carefully finished product. The hose is very flexible (more than the Dyson) and the tube does not add weight despite being metallic. This vacuum cleaner has a very small reservoir, which may be an advantage as a disadvantage depending on the situation. This is convenient for storage - especially as the molded mounting system on the handle is solid and well thought! So for smaller homes or to have a second vacuum in the attic, it's great. For a large house, the tray will open soon. Another advantage is that it is small: in house, it is easier to empty the tank directly in the outdoor trash. But in an apartment, a large dust container is less easy to pour into a trash bag without putting all around and having to re-clean around. The filter is easily accessible and maintenance. The power cord is the usual length. The big difference with Dyson - at least one that I - this is to adjust the suction power. Rowenta It is so powerful that I had to put it to a minimum to pass on PVC floors of the rooms. Of all the accessories inventoried in the manual, this device comes with only brush furnishing, upholstery nozzle and telescopic slit nozzle. (Too bad though that the accessory storage is optional !!!) Top would be to replace all rectangular floor with a vacuum cleaner nozzle provides the triangular equivalent. But ultimately, this device is really a very good surprise. Dyson have proven solidity and longevity, I hope it will be the same for Rowenta.
