pro: Very good suction, many high end features like cord rewind, adjustable motor speed, hose swivels at BOTH ends, large bag, washable filters, quiet motor, lightweight, large easy to use controls, hose handle suction relief, full bag indicator. Con: extension wand TOO SHORT, crevice tool useless Fix: went to vac shop and bought new LONGER wand which allows the floor tool to push and clean MUCH better. Also went to the Bissell .Com and purchased a dusting brush, sofa tool, crevice tool and tool holder for VERY reasonable cost and fast shipping. Very happy with the vacuum. It does need a longer wand to work properly if you are a tall person. Fast shipping and good value. I would buy again.
