This rocket model is less than the previous model that came out maybe 3 years ago. The suction is okay, although it doesn't work well on carpet as opposed to hard surfaces. It's very inconvenient when using and you need to stop vacuuming, you must place down on the floor since it's top heavy and you can't lean it against the wall. It also has a hard time picking up debris from the kitchen floor. Overall this is mediocre compared to other older models I've used over the last decade.
