So far I've never been convinced of bagless vacuum cleaners. Ranging from a few brands of discounters or retailers in the same price range I was so far only entaüscht. Whether it is the bad plastic processing, or very pungent plastic odor, but most lacked the proper suction power. But then the Aqua Laser came along. Super suction power, easy cleaning, a lot quieter than other devices I could compare at home and in the office here. I'm excited and do not want another more.
