I as points of comparison with the Dirt Devil bagless Philips FC9722 / 09 Bagless vacuum POWERPRO EXPERT Class Technology PowerCyclone 6 and the silent force Rowenta (with bag). Therefore decibel level, it's a catastrophe. This cleaner and super noisy mega !!! If it is super noisy, it is super effective against aspiration level, even better than the two vacuums appointed by comparison. Design is really super nice: modern, red and white. Super cute. It is not too heavy, compact and runs well. The second major drawback comes from the accessories the quality and research are not "top quality". There are no indexing between the handle and the tube or between the tube and the brush. The brush is basic and the handle, even if it is telescopic, is difficult to use. Thus in the 40th near Philips (without bag) or with the Rowenta 30th (with bag), I definitely prefer the latter two because of their decibel level. A shame as the design and power of this Dirt Devil are downright top but the sound level and quality accessories lacking.
