At the weekend I used a Hoover Sensory 2000 watt bagged cylinder vac. I was very surprised at how quiet it was, even at full power and not a patch on the old TS2065 model I had in 2011.
The red TS2353 has plenty of suction and the air out the back of the grid doesn't go in my face. It was rated at 78dbl! It is a pity that the Sensory's main tools consist of that cheap slider crevice-out-of-a-cup and brush combo tool and it doesn't exactly inspire confidence when clipped to the underside of the handle.
I was however very surprised on how easy the Sensory was to use - it has a longish hose, easy tubes and all the while didn't make much of a racket. The model they copied was Bosch with their BSGL3 series where the lid opens from the rear.
