After I am now fallen 2x with a cyclone vacuum cleaner (without bags), I opted for this model. I have to say a great value for money. It sucks as it should and I can also adjust the suction power. Excellent. The cable reel is very easy and without any problems. A very big advantage is the low weight of the vacuum cleaner. It can be fine on the stairs to transport without problems sometimes just from here to there. Conclusion: In a short time a great clean cleaning efficiency. Therefore only with vacuum cleaner bag.
