The downside is that this vacuum cleaner is too heavy and too unwieldy to be easy to use. It rolls very bad, because of too small wheels and non-directional (except one), and therefore its weight. So bad that he can not even roll over his own thread! Therefore, if you want to buy you must be prepared to the idea that you should probably switch to the carrying in one hand while you operate the brush on the other. Not so super convenient. Too bad ...
In terms of best, you must enter that Rowenta has returned to a conventional rectangular shape of the brush head. The conical shape of the old models was extremely effective in terms of having no furniture in the room!
Finally, in terms of suction power, nothing to say on that side. Excellent efficiency.
Appraisal:
If you attach importance to decibels and want to focus on a low noise with good suction power, you have found the product you need.
If you want a vacuum cleaner handy and easy to operate, go your way, this one is not elected. You can find better for less elsewhere ...
Clearly the perfect vacuum cleaner - silent, powerful, light, small and handy - is not yet born. At the time of Hi-tech everything is, and for a product that was invented in 1901 (111 years ago so!), How long will we still wait for you? No one knows ...
