I just purchased this vacuum. I always buy sharks. The suction is Amazing! I like this one so far, I wish it had the front light and the chord was longer, but still great even without. I like that this model doesn’t pull you forward. The last one I had pulled a bit to hard. I think it’s supposed to help maybe guide you along, I personally did not like it. A bit to powerful of a pull. This model, WAY better. just glides!
