I bought this vacuum twice. TWICE! The first time the swivel at the bottom broke. I had it less than a year. I'm unsure how that happened as it wasn't hit against anything. I figured I'd give it another chance, what the heck maybe it was something I did. I bought it again. Less than a year later, 6 months later to be exact, the spinbrush stopped spinning. It's stuck. It won't move therefore, I can't vacuum. I've cleaned it, there's nothing stuck, and now I'm left with no vacuum again. I don't recommend this vacuum.
