I had the item for a month. So far I'm very happy with the purchase I made. It is good basic vacuum cleaner for a household that has pets and girls with long hair. Strong suction, no rotating parts that catch and get tangled in long hairs, and disposable bags (hence, no need to fuss with filter cleaning) makes it perfect and cost efficient choice for a busy family. It would be nice if it had brush attachment for furniture cleaning, but since our old vacuum's attachments fit this model - I can't complain.
