Purchased after reading so many awesome reviews from real users. I wanted a powerful, easy to use, well made tool to get the job done and this machine fits the bill! Previous vacuum was a Dyson. Used it for 2 years and I was never impressed with the suction Dyson touted as the best in the business plus I paid over $400 for it. Hoover - WinTunnel3 to the rescue! Thanks for making such an incredible machine!
