I was raised with Electrolux vacuums and have always had at least one myself. After a disastrous experience with another brand that quit working in less than a month, my husband ordered this Electrolux for me. I LOVE it! It picks up everything whether on carpet or tile; very easy to empty/clean — I ordered a box of 2 extra filters so I can wash one and use another while the first dries (I can’t go 24 hours of filter drying time without vacuuming). I highly recommend this vacuum to anyone looking for this type of leaning tool
