I bought the Garage Pro for my husband's Father's Day gift in 2012. We were in the process of making the garage bigger so it was almost a year before he was able to attach it to the garage wall in between the 2 garage doors. I just used it yesterday to vacuum our van and pickup truck after the winter months. My husband loves it and so do I. He uses it to vacuum out our boat after a week or 2 of fishing! Haven't had any tube or hose problems like some people have had. I had ordered extra filters for it the same time as I ordered the vacuum. I don't think he has changed them yet! I recommend this vacuum to all my friends. Thanks Bissell !!!!
