I am not my first bagless vacuum cleaner. I wanted at all costs to regain control on the handle and not on the vacuum cleaner, hence my choice in this vacuum. The command by infrared on the handle is fine - better than the old system integrated in the handle, because if the handle is broke, we found ourselves without vacuum cleaner - but: Requires batteries (included) and offers 3 choice: low, medium, high: what appears to me to be sufficient (there is no mode progression). It's a little plastic, compared to more expensive models, but small, nice color, and power to the appointment. The noise, no more than another, and I would say, less than some. The only negative, and size: the brush supposedly provided for curtains and furniture does not fit on the handle: quite unnecessary (and ridiculous size, I wonder if there is not an error in the supplies) so that you end up without this brush is essential to me (the one that goes well in corners, between electrical son on the couch ...) Otherwise, easy clearing and maintenance. Nothing to say is well done. Good quality / price.
