Only used several times so far. Fantastic suction and ease of use. Had the exact features I was looking for. Auto adjust and hard floor (brushes off) cleaning. Since they don't make them like they used to, a lot of cheap plastic, the 5 year warranty can't be beat. The only problem I see so far is that the handle will go out of the upright position without using the foot release. My last Hoover is almost 20 years old, used heavily and still works. Great vac and saved $$$$ over others.
