This vacuum has a lot of suction, is quiet to run, but best of all has bright LED lights on each of the attachments and the main stick. It is excellent on hard wood floors and also does a good job on area rugs. I chose it because of the lights and because I wanted a lighter vacuum to use on the basement stairs. After trying it, I now use it for the majority of the vacuuming. The attachments are easy to add and remove. It is great to dust with using the dust brush attachment, with or without the stick portion, and easy to empty. I have not used the filters yet, as I bought them as replacements when the originals need changing, so I am unable to review them at this time.
