It does not have the same suction or the ability to raise and lower the brush bar. I like that it is lightweight, however, it feels very flimsy. It would not clean grass from a short carpet the way my previous model would. I wanted a model with the self rewind so that is why I chose this one along with the advertising. Overall, I am very disappointed with this one but chose Eureka because my model AS3101 was great. Parts are no longer available or I would have repaired it.
