The suction on this vacuum is great, as is the powerfoot. However, I deducted 1 star for there not being any power controls on the wand portion. Canister vacuums have had controls on the handle for years, so I'm not sure why it was not implemented on this one. It's very inconvenient to have to bend down each time I want the vacuum turned on or off. I also deducted a star for the telescopic tube being extremely heavy for what it is. Other than having an electrical wire running through it, it's no different than any other telescopic pole, so it shouldn't need an entire metal housing. Otherwise, good vacuum. Would recommend.
