I have the model Air Steerable just before this model came out. I normally do not write reviews on products. In this case I felt I had to because I was so impressed . I will not say I like something If I do not. It is everything alot of the reviews said and more....light,powerful,quiet and very easy to steer. but what most impressed me, was the way that you can dismantle almost all of the parts,including hoses,and wash them out of any debris in the way,this way you are always using a clean vac.
