Perfect little vacuum cleaner, even if the battery only lasts 10 min.
All in all, a very recommendable product from Rowenta. It is also much slimmer than most other devices on the market, which was also a decisive factor for me.
Pro
- Super suction power
- Quiet
- beautiful design
- Compact charging station with 2 additional attachments
- Several ways to empty the container
- 10min is quite enough, usually only need it for 2-3min if at all
Contra
- Charging station power cable may be even longer
Outstanding
The appliance feels great in the hand and has very good suction power for its small size. The fact that you put the appliance back on the charging dock after vacuuming means that it is always charged. The only real drawback is that the extension falls off easily. To remedy this, I have applied a thin layer of black adhesive tape to one side of the extension - the resulting minimal thickening means that the extension holds perfectly and no longer falls off. It has also happened to me twice that the whole front part has fallen off during vacuuming, leaving the whole contents on the floor. Should close a little more securely. Caution: If the appliance only vacuums for a few seconds at a time and then flashes red, unscrew the metal filter and clean the paper filter underneath! I didn't realise this at first and thought the appliance was broken. The manufacturer should perhaps point this out more explicitly.

Battery dies after 2 months
It worked great for the first month. Then over the next month battery capacity dropped to zero, which made it unusable. I returned it 4 times, after every repair the problem was exactly the same. Works well first month, then battery dies after second month. I gave up and threw it away.
I used it always with the docking station, which I suspect might cause the problem. Maybe battery doesn't handle well the fact that it's plugged all the time. But well, docking station was the main reason why I choose this model :)
