powerSensor technology*
If your appliance is fitted with powerSensor techno-
logy*, this automatically ensures that the appliance is
always working at its optimum power level. In conjunc-
tion with using original dust bags, this ensures minimal
dust bag use and additional energy savings.
powerSensor technology is always activated automa-
tically, and does not need to be activated by the user.
GALL type replacement bags (VZ4GXXLP2 / VZ41F-
GALL) are required to guarantee the optimum perfor-
mance of the powerSensor technology.
