I am really pleased with this product, I did have a 3 in one product of yours for many years and had replace parts on it numerous time, but this decided that it was time to replace it. This featherweight is even lighter and better then the first product I had. I have arthritis in both hands badly and always struggled get the old one apart to empty it, I don't have that issue with this one, it is an all around fine tool to have and you don't have to sell the farm to buy it :-) I use it to vacuum my carpets, hardwood floors and scatter rugs, it does the job without the trouble of dragging a heavy vacuum around. Thank you for making a worth wild product that the average person can afford to buy!
