I bought this vac because I have had such good luck with Hoover products. This one is a has some problems with it's design. First of the bin to collect the dirt is so small, and trying to empty the bin is not the easiest to do either. Then when I am vacuuming as I hold the vac I keep hitting the power switch. I don't know where it could have been place considering the design, but it seems to be very easy to touch and turns off the power....very frustrating. It has good suction, but it's only good for small clean up.
