Verdict

The Ariete Handy Force 2361/01 is a lightweight 2.24 kg corded 2-in-1 electric stick and handheld vacuum cleaner operating with a 600W motor and a 1-liter bagless dust tank capacity. Main characteristics include its bagless cyclonic suction technology, a washable HEPA filter, an adjustable telescopic tube, a 5-meter power cord, and a versatile accessory kit consisting of a multiuse floor/carpet brush, a crevice nozzle, and a fabric brush. Its primary pros are its versatile 2-in-1 transition to a portable handheld unit, lightweight and ergonomic maneuverability, simple maintenance with a washable filter, and steady power supply via its corded design. Conversely, its main cons include a limited operational radius due to the fixed 5-meter cord length, higher operating noise levels peaking around 80 dB, and a tendency for the compact tank to require frequent emptying during larger cleaning tasks.
