I checked the reviews on this vacuum and it had as good and sometimes better than other higher priced ones, since using it I feel it is the best I have ever owned.  I didn't know I would enjoy the headlight since never having one before and the suction is as advertised, I'm pulling lots of dust out of what I thought was fairly clean carpet, the handle makes it easy to push.  The only drawback that I can find is the whistle when using.
