I love this vacuum it's not too loud, it has great suction. I have hardwood floors so it's perfect. I recommend this vacuum forsure if you have hard floors. It's also good on area rugs with the carpet attachment, I have entrance mats and area rugs in bedrooms and it's work great for me. Its easy to clean, so far I have no issues. I also have a cordless BISSELL and I love it also. BISSELL is all in all a good product great customer service
