I love this vacuum. The other reviewers stated that the hose pops off but I learned you have to really turn it into the locked position in order for it to stay. It is a little difficult over my rug but I only have one so this isn't a deal breaker for me.  The auction is great and I'm always amazed at how the water looks after I'm done cleaning. Love the fact that I dont see vast hair floating through the air as I'm vacuuming.
