I had great hopes for this vacuum as I have all tile floor and I was tired of hulling around a vacuum made for carpet. The plus: it moves around the floor easily and the brush head picks up much more than a standard vacuum head for a hard floor. The negatives: the cord is way to short it should be twice as long. The hose is made for a short person it needs to be at least 6 in longer. I am not a tall person but the bending over to accommodate the short hose results in a back ache.
