Ok, the vacuum overall works well,  my "complaints" would be that, 1- there is no beater brush for the carpets, like what vacuum like that(1 of 2)bar, 2- the hose that attaches to the vacuum,  came off like 5 times, doesnt properly lock and last, I was worried about dumping it in the toilet, lots and lots of dog hair, was afraid of clogging, works well though good suction! So probably 2 out of 5 stars Can you replace the hose I think the connection is defective
