After Black & Decker model 7.2 volts (of there 3 years) disappointing, I still picked up this brand after careful reading opinions on vacuums hands 18 volts.sur Amazon (hint: it is sometimes practice consult the US or German version for recent models in France). I do not regret my choice: it has the power to effectively manage all small interventions between passages of "big vacuum" ... The filter cleaning is also easy. Finally, the expandable tip is convenient (and blocking lying down effective, unlike the previous model). Difficult for now (after one month) to judge the battery, but lithium-ion is to guarantee good performance in time. Very satisfied with my purchase.
