This is one of the worst vacuums I have ever used! Heavy, no forward drive, the light position aims at the wall not the floor and the attachments are cheaply made and do not stay together while trying to use. It is very heavy to not have a forward drive. The only positive thing about the unit is the cord length. It is supposed to be a pet vacuum. I have to use my hands to clean the hopper as the design obstructs the hair and dirt.
