I am so glad I switched from Oreck where the bag kept pulling away from the attachment. Annoying! I cannot believe I put up with that for years using tape to seal it! This little beauty saves me a lot of time, frustration & money. Never had a single problem in the two years I've had it. Only recently had to put a new rubber band on which is easy to do. Just love this vac. esp the motor filters, dumping ease, take apart cleaning, suction gauge.
