This vaccum has potential to be a great item but in reality the hoses get clogged and the vacuum won’t pick anything up. I have to clean the hoses out every time I use the vacuum. It doesn’t seem to have enough power to bring the derby through the hose and to the chamber  on its own. I’ve had it about a year and I will be buying a corded vacuum. Trying to make this one work for so long has left me feeling like my house is dirty even after I clean it.
