Have this about a month as a backup vacuum. We'll it is my primary vacuum. It weighs practically nothing, vacuums both carpeting and flooring like a charm, can get in areas that were difficult to get into and the emptying of the collection bin is a snap! Vacuuming is no longer a chore anymore. I love it! Just like I loved my Electrolux canister 40 years ago. Still use it to clean out my car!  They just don't die!
