I hesitated a long time between rowenta and electrolux. After a sleepless night to dissect the reviews on the net I finally decided: I took both. Well sincerely there is no picture. The rowenta is quieter, more practical with its suction front, a bit heavier can be but we made it very quickly. It has a very good suction power for this type of vacuum cleaner. Of course I do not think it replaces the sled vacuum cleaner; it is very convenient for the extra cleaning. The only downside if I really must note one this is the lack of a hand vacuum electrolux incorporated as its competitor. But sincerely I prefer thousand times the two apparatus have nothing to do, I was even very decue by the other when I was able to use it. Cleaning is done very quickly. It has a good battery life despite its long load (16h).
