Its 2 assets are shown on consumption 700W, which is really low (usually on vacuum in this range one is between 1500 and 2000W). And silent operation at 64dB announced.
In use, the handle is ergonomic and the vacuum cleaner is quite handy in his movements without being extraordinary.
We find the classic valve on the handle and an electronic controller on the vacuum cleaner, to modulate the suction force.
Usually, in vacuum cleaners, a compromise must be found between Force and suction sound produced. Put simply, a vacuum cleaner is less noisy least he aspires well. And this rule is also true on this Rowenta, but with a nuance however: His aspiration wooden floor is good, no complaints, by cons on carpet or rug it down a notch and just becomes correct, the level of a vacuum cleaner "normal". The nuance is that in parallel operation noise has really nothing to do. And if we go back to the previous rule, based on the noise one would have expected to suction much less effective than that observed.
In the end, it's a vacuum cleaner bag, pretty well finished, very energy efficient, which manages to maintain proper suction efficiency and even quite good, despite a remarkably low operating noise.
Basically, if you are not a (an) unconditional (it) of the suction power, this Rowenta is to be considered very seriously.
