Here there are quite different opinions. My review is based now to 4 weeks as experience. He's really quiet. Whether very quiet, extremely quiet - everybody perceives differently. To my "infernal machine" earlier for me a great relief. I use it only on hard floor, so I can not judge the hard eyes. It sucks top, the HEPA filter acts. With the rollers and the cable I'm coming along well. By 1.93 I can easily suck without back curvature. In other recessions is this something else - I can not understand. But I have to deduct a star yet: The upholstery unfortunately leaves welts through the coarse ribbing on the bottom. And I miss the suction power to the handpiece. So that I can live.
