Verdict

The Nilfisk Select Allergy EU is an energy-efficient bagged canister vacuum cleaner featuring a 650W motor, a 3.2-litre dust capacity, and an 8-metre power cord that provides an 11.2-metre operating radius. Its main characteristics include an airtight construction with dust-proof gaskets and a high-performance HEPA 14 filter that captures 99.995% of microparticles, pollen, and dust mites, making it certified by the British Allergy Foundation. The primary pros are its superior multi-surface dust pickup on both low-pile carpets and hard floors, adjustable suction power displayed on a smart digital indicator, standard 75 dB noise levels, and an automatic cord rewinder. However, notable cons include a relatively heavy build of around 10.5 kg for the full assembly and a lack of integrated internal storage compartments to house the small accessory nozzles directly inside the body.
