I was very surprised at how much quieter this vacuum is compared to my old one. I can even vacuum while my granddaughter is sleeping and it doesn't wake her. It has great suction and a very long cord so I don't have to plug it into different outlets while vacuuming my living room and hallway. It comes with three attachments that store right on the vacuum so you don't have to worry about misplacing them. I definitely recommend it!
