I am giving this a 5 star rating because it is very well powered and picks up dust and dirt well. However, it feels cheap, like everything else. Am most concerned about two items. 1) The upper handle is secured by one metal screw into plastic and it will experience a lot of stress over time and 2) the locking mechanism for the hose to go from floor to attachments is flimsy - that is something that I will use 5-6 times during a cleaning session - so I am worried it will break. Time will tell. There is a 5 yr warranty - so I thought I would give it a try.
