Verdict

The Zilan ZLN8471 is a compact, conventional corded bagged vacuum cleaner featuring a 1200W motor (860W-890W nominal power), a 2-litre washable and reusable textile dust bag, and a 5-stage filter system. Its main pros include an impressive suction power comparable to traditional 1400W–1600W models, a lightweight and highly maneuverable 4 kg body with a 360-degree rotating wheel, an automatic cord rewinder for its 5-metre cable, and a handy dust full indicator. However, its main cons are its relatively high operating noise level of 79 dB, the lack of a turbo brush in the standard accessory kit, and the inclusion of basic plastic extension tubes rather than more durable metal ones.
