I’m 70 yrs old & used an Oreck for many years because of its light weight. Now I wanted(needed) cordless & lightweight. In my younger years I owned the Electrolux tank and its performance was excellent. So I was familiar with the quality of this brand which is what led me to my purchase of this model. It is just as I expected, excellent quality,lightweight and easy to handle. I am thrilled with all the additional attachments and the charging station,making those attachments easily accessible. Great suction with variable speeds plus an adjustable length/height for the rod. Best purchase I’ve made for myself for Christmas!
