It was my second one as I liked this very much at first. I own a cleaning company and have been used a lot different kind of vacuum. And decided to get one for my company use as well and bought this again. Compare to the first one, joint got a lot tighter and hard to clip in properly. Not great thing is, that is not only clipping the joints, the head is also hard to lay down As the joint got tougher. One of my clients also has this at their home, but not impressed like when I used this first time. Also it has a great power, but still not the best on the hard floor. For the price, it's not bad.
