This is a great vacuum.  It has plenty of power and doesn't clog.  We had a Shark cordless and the Electrolux is a much better design. The Shark required pet hairs (German Shepherd) to travel up a long tube to the canister.  That tube frequently clogged and it was aggravating to take everything apart to take a ramrod to remove the clog.  The canister on this vacuum is near the floor and has not clogged. It is easy to remove the hand-held unit, easy to empty, and I love the lights. Very happy with the purchase.
