Exactly as advertised, the vacuum cleaner arrived today (delivery to France), bravo Amazon! A very dirty house (2 huge dogs + many boots that go on and off), waiting for the use of the new vacuum cleaner. When unpacking, I was impressed by the good quality of the parts. Hired sooner he surprised me by very low noise, really enjoyable. He has imbibed almost the dirt collector and let them only to get rid of when I had the adjustment knob found. After the kitchen we continued into the living room where I enjoyed the integrated small brush around the baseboards, picture frames etc suck without lugging all the accessories. The long cord is wonderful for so large rooms, a reason why I ordered the sucker at Amazon.com: (yes the same sucker), the suckers in France have a 2 m radius smaller! After staircase, bedroom and bathroom, my first impression: just great! The old Rowenta needed 2000w and was not stronger. In addition, as already blocked smallest "hard parts" as Papierschnitzelchen etc the sucker. Really recommended, so you like to save electricity. Notes: Now the sucker is already almost a year in operation, absolutely love it, is as strong as any 2400w vacuum cleaner, easy to maintain. Only some "steadfast" He could be in abrupt changes of direction it tilts like.
