Wow! This vacuum is so great. It is hefty and very durable. It does a great job of cleaning up all of my messes, from hair to flour and everything in between. I have not had to do any maintenance to it yet, which is great, and I love that hair does not get wrapped around it. Overall, this is a little bit pricey, but I do believe that it is worth the price. However I was given this product for free in exchange for my honest review.
