I have had this vacuum for over 15 years. It has been very dependable and does a great job. I use this vacuum every day to clean my house. I have a dog that sheds a lot and my Electrolux is there to take care of that. I just recently replaced that old Electrolux with a new one and it is even better than the first one. Love the charging station, and I really think it was time to replace my old Electrolux with this new one.
