I have been searching for a new vacuum cleaner for the past 2 months, after the hassle I had with my previous purchase (see my previous review for a vacuum cleaner). After visiting every electronics store I could and not finding anything, I decided to try out this specific one (without seeing it in person) since it is the best-selling conventional vacuum cleaner on a European website. Luckily, I was not disappointed and the vacuum cleaner is excellent!
First of all, as soon as I took it out of the box, I thought it was a fake, poorly made construction... which is not true. The handle is made of aluminum, not iron. Also, the main body is very lightweight yet sturdy. The cord is long enough and did not cause any problems. The noise level is normal, nothing out of the ordinary. I don't use the attachments anyway.
Finally, vacuuming is easy. I hold the handle with two fingers when there is no carpet, and the base has its own wheels so it rolls effortlessly. It also fits under sofas and beds! From what I have noticed, very few vacuum cleaners have a thin base, at least for our case. It has enough power but does not suction to the floor and carpets, so you don't feel like you went to the gym after cleaning the house. It really cleans very well.
As for durability, only time will tell...
