Rowenta gets ahead of the competition

This is with a vacuum cleaner bag, but I think it is useful, this preliminary comment to explain why I have, for some years, abandoned the unit with bag for a bagless unit and why I came back with a vacuum cleaner bag.

When I passed the bagless, my motivation was not reduced user cost (purchase bags), but rather because to buy bags, we must move to a store that is not necessarily close to home and not necessarily open when you're down. So I acquired a bagless vacuum cleaner (LG brand) whose use was more binding than buying bags as I had to empty the tank every use, except for each room cleaned, and it was often necessary to clean the filter 2 or 3, otherwise a security prevented him from working.

2. Comparison of this unit with the previous model "Delta Silence force" of Rowenta.

Since the abandonment of the bagless vacuum cleaner I bought an earlier version of this vacuum (silence extreme force), namely vacuum Rowenta "Delta Silence force" that does not have a problem. A member of my family before I acquired equip this new model that I tried before forwarding it, which allows me to make the comparison between the previous version and the new version.

2.1. The similarities with the earlier version "Silence force."

These are:
-From Operation "silent", that is to say substantially less noisy than most other vacuums. Personally I did not notice any difference in this respect between the two devices.
-In Suction efficiency that translates Rowenta the figure of 2200 watts in 2 cases.
-A Control the suction power either on the handle or on the body of the sledge. In case of different positions of these commands is the lowest power predominates.
-A Easy attachment means of the blade-tip to the body of the slide in order to facilitate the transport of the assembly.
-A Easily cleanable and replaceable filter inside.

2.2. New this vacuum "Silence extreme force."

A-The novelty that seems most spectacular, at least on the technical and marketing plans, is the electric power consumption decrease for the same suction efficiency.
In the previous model the power consumption is 2200 watts while it is reduced to 750 watts in this model.
Despite this, if we fast and simple calculation, the euro economy is anecdotal:
The announced average consumption is 26.9 kWh per year at a cost of around 3 euros per year (0.11 euros per kWh). Now, as the previous model consumed about 3 times, the savings is only about 6 euros per year!
The European Commission announced recently that from 2017 vacuum cleaners should not consume more than 900 watts. Although this decision will not increase the purchasing power of consumers can however find that Rowenta, which manufactures in France, seems to have taken the lead over its competitors, which can be favorable to employment in this country .

B- The second novelty to mention consists of improved fasteners, snap, lacrosse telescopic tube and hose to the latter mop cap. This change does not seem minor to me because it happened to me that the brush tip comes off, eg by vacuuming under furniture.

C- Finally lacrosse at its end a brush for cleaning the chairs or curtains. This brush is normally behind a tube endpiece for receiving, by snap-fastening, the telescopic pipe. To use the brush so you have to slide rearward-hose nozzle. It is not there either a minor advantage since 2 other people who used the new device on me remarked that to clean the chairs do not go for a tip since it is integrated in the butt.
But like the previous model, there is no included accessories.

3. The use of this cleaner, like the previous model, not a problem for me. It is highly effective.
But I said that I have no carpet in my home, only tile and wood floors.
It is possible that the efficiency is slightly lower with carpet since, on a descending scale from A to G, this vacuum cleaner is a Class B Parquet and tile and class C for the carpet.

4. In conclusion the most important benefits of this vacuum are, in my opinion, in addition to ease of use, low noise operation and high efficiency despite the low energy consumption.
But if you want accessories must be purchased separately.
