I admit that a bagless vacuum is convenient because it does not have to buy bags but must be emptied every three minutes and suction power is not the same. Here we have a really powerful vacuum cleaner with bag and especially the bags are easy to find so generic it's not too expensive to change bags.
The vacuum cleaner is a bit heavy (5 kg though) and it is not very compact, for it is against pretty design (and I love red, but that's a little more!)
The wire 11 meters is more than enough to aspire without having to find an outlet every 2 meters.
It is "normally" noisy, you can not always pass the aspi at night without waking everyone but it is not abnormally noisy. I have already had the quietest vacuum cleaners but it's still acceptable.
This vacuum cleaner is definitely a great product that perfectly fulfilled its role. The quality is worth the price.
