I bought this vacuum cleaner several months ago.  What I don't like about it:  the tools do NOT pick up light debris from under cushions.  The canister does not hold much dog hair at all.  I have a small dog, yet the canister needs emptying after every room.  And, yes, I do vacuum frequently.  The canister isn't tight - and the outside of the canister gets "dusty".  The canister is small and hard to clean.  It is just my husband and I, and we're seniors so I thought this would be an ideal.  We recently downsized, so our home is small; rather than this being an ideal vacuum cleaner, it has been very disappointing!
