Very, very, good suction, best overall vacuum I have ever owned!
Stay away from their refurbished ones though. Worked as good as new until it quit 1 1/2 years after I bought it. I only had a 90 day warranty on it but took a chance and lost. You would think a company like Sharp would do better there but no way. If I have problems with this new one I will forget Sharp and go else where.
