this vacuum has a lot of suction.  There wasn't too much documentation with it but it was ontuitive to set up.  One of the attachments didn't have a place to store it on the machine so I'll probably end up losing it.   The extension hose if maxed out tends to tip the vacuum so be careful with the max reach.   My 6yr old is able to push the unit without a problem as is glides nicely over the carpet.   There are 2 power settings on the switch which is a nice feature.  I do like how the container has a hands free bottom opening to dump the trash.  Very satisfied with this vacuum so far.
