I was a little worried about this vacuum retailing for less than $100, but I am very pleased with it. It was simple to put together, and I started right away cleaning with it. I didn’t think my carpet was very dirty to begin with being fairly new, but the vacuum picked up about 3” of stuff just in 2 rooms. I used the height dial to then go over my hard kitchen floor, and it picked up as well as a broom would have. Overall I am very happy with this purchase.
