This is an awesome vacuum. I initially had concerns with the suction / cleaning ability of this vacuum, but I was pleasantly surprised that my worry was in vein!  The power of the suction was also on my mind but all concern faded after my first use, I was truly shocked to see all of the things this vacuum cleaned up that my prior vacuum had not captured!!  We have a lot of wood floors in our home so the ability to switch the attachments and use on different floor types is phenomenal!  It is a very light weight, easy to handle / maneuver.
