This vaccum is great! It is lightweight and has great suction, but it can be pretty loud when on the highest setting which is what I find to be the most effective at picking up dirt and other things. It’s held up really well overall, but the auto emptying canister does not work every time. I have yet to figure out how to make it do that when it doesn’t do it automatically. As far as overall function it’s one of the strongest I’ve ever used!
