Just received this beauty about 2 weeks ago.  I've only used it a couple of times so far and I would say love it better than my corded cheap vacuum that stopped working after a year.  The dust buster pullout is great, used it in my car with the crevice tools.  Also love having the weight at the bottom of the machine vs. the top like so many others....less traveling of the dirt too! Hopefully it will hold up to my expectations over the next year or more!
