I bought this to replace another brand stick vac that I bought to replace my old Shark Rocket; that purchase of that other brand was a mistake even though it’s quieter it’s doesn’t do the job as well as my Shark. The Shark was more expensive, the reason for buying the other brand, just the Price but that was a huge mistake, never again. I’ll stay with Shark. Wish it was more quieter, I like to sweep at night after everyone goes to bed.
