The only downside to this product is the length of the cord. I understand why - to keep the canister as compact as possible - but would still like another 2 feet. Other than that, excellent little machine. The power head self propels which is a bonus for people with arm challenges such as myself. Suction as good as my sisters dyson which is similar in size, and the price makes the extra 2 pounds more than worth it. Easy to clean the pet hair off the roller as well, even though not a quick off one like other models. Again, price makes it worth the difference. All in all within this price range an excellent model to consider
