Well, this machine is a monster. The suction power is incredible. I actually use it as my house vacuum, with 3 dogs I need all the help I can get! It is very loud but that's okay, I like not having to purchase bags and it holds a TON of debris. The only thing I would change are the wheels, which should all be multidirectional, because sometimes when I tug at it the vacuum topples over and I have to turn it off and pick it up, it doesn't roll very well across the floor.
