I bought this because the old heavy model that I owned died. I was hesitant but ventured on. I'm pleasantly surprised by the power and maneuverability. Most of all I love the bag less canister. It's eye opening to see what this unit could do. Immediately after my housekeeper had used thier industrial upright and left our home I used this to vaccuum the area rugs and a lot of stuff came out of them. Then...on to the mattresses. same result. I love this vaccuum. The 1 draw back is there's only 1 attachment tool and it does not lock/snap in place, it just slides on the hose end and feels in-secured when actually using it.
