In spite of my concerns that it might be a model that was not intended for use in Europe, the vacuum cleaner that was delivered was of the European variety. Please do not be frightened to place your order; everything is in working order. Has some pros: Control that is simple to use and strong technical performance. The power of the suction is sufficient to cover without using carpets. Some disadvantages include the fact that there is hardly enough for 110 squares when all of the indicators are set to their maximum levels of power (Suction on the turbo and intensive wetting of the rag, respectively). This is a question that should be directed at the manufacturer and not the merchant.
