Verdict

The Siemens VSQ5X1232 Q5.0 Extreme SilencePower is a corded, bagged cylinder vacuum cleaner featuring an 850-watt highPower motor with CompressorTechnology, which utilizes aerodynamic fan blades to maintain high suction on carpets, parquet, and tiles. Main highlights include a generous 4.5-liter XL dust bag capacity, a washable HEPA hygiene filter ideal for allergy sufferers, activeSound Control engineering that dampens noise to a moderate 72 dB, and an expansive 13-meter operating radius assisted by four 360-degree steering rollers. On the downside, the unit is relatively heavy, weighing 5.8 kg without accessories (and 6.6 kg net weight), and its 850W power draw makes it less energy-efficient than some modern eco-alternatives.
