My old Rowenta TONIXO needing to be changed, I opted for this model ... Pretty quiet (this is the right point), not ugly (pleasant white design) BUT the wheels are too small, they spend never over the wire unless you take the cleaner head on or abuse it! And after a while, I guarantee you we want to abuse him! Another disadvantage compared to TONIXO, brush: it seems more "comfortable" but it is thicker and therefore no longer pass under all furniture. Similarly the handle to lift the vacuum cleaner is less accessible from the rear. Finally disappointed at the lack of maneuverability. In short, old TONIXO was a base model, he served in extreme conditions and I have not found better!
