This is the best vacuum for me. I tried three before deciding on this one. Thankful that Bissell has such a great return policy! This vacuum is lovely on my wood floors, and has a suction release controll on the handle so that when I run over a throw rug on my wood floors, I can reduce the suction. This is fabulous since the suction is quite powerful! That's what one wants in a vacuum. It's not heavy to lug around, and the bagless option is also a bonus. The container is on the large side, so no emptying often either. I love this vacuum and highly recommend it.
