Some years ago I had an earlier version of this vacuum. It was the best. It became time again to purchase a new vacuum. Naturally, I checked the Electrolux site here and pretty much made up my mind from the start. And, yes, I researched other brands just to be sure there wasn't any other in the same price range and quality. That answer was an affirmative no.
Excellent vacuum power; great ease of use; light-weight; competitive price; there really is no comparison.
Highly recommend!!
