I already used vacuum cleaners advertised as quiet and not létaient really, but I think I can say quen mini position one ballast (so much so that I even asked several times sil was running - the wheels of the brush making more noise than vacuuming itself!). And if at first use, always mini power it gave me a sense of efficiency rather limited, the contents of the bag then testified to the contrary, very good. As for maximum power, efficiency is no doubt, but in this case we lentend obviously much more. The power is adjusted with the electronic dimmer on the body of the device (three positions) or mechanical drive (less efficient) on the handle of the telescopic tube. It comes with a bag filter and a "special Wonderbag allergy" already in place and easy to handle. Japprécie the presence of a bag change indicator. Jaime much as the brush retractable, integrated handle, this is very convenient to wash and always at hand (no other accessory is supplied - it is possible den purchase separately). By jaime against dair unless the output is on the top (not very nice when you look, especially in maximum power). The power cord is of good length (about 7.80 m). This cleaner is classified as "eco efficient energy" and it is made in France.
