Overall, this is a great product! It's lightweight (and therefore easy to use) and sleek (easy to store). Most importantly, this vacuum generates strong suction, regardless of the floor covering, from thick carpet to hardwood (plus, it cleans right up to the edge of the vacuum's body!) It also provides strong suction for all the attachments and tools (the crevice tool is especially effective for cleaning along baseboards and under toe-kicks, but it's straight-angle is not as useful for cleaning under low furniture). A few minor negative notes: The electrical cord is a bit too short to allow cleaning an entire room from one electrical outlet. The extension tool isn't quite long enough to reach an entire 8' ceiling (especially corners). Finally, perhaps it was just this particular vacuum cleaner, but it's difficult to lock it upright after laying it flat to clean under high furniture.
