I wasn't sure about this vacuum, I had a central vacuum before but this on has met and surpassed my expectations, all the tools are on the vacuum so it very easily switches from vacuuming a floor to using the crevice tool for the hard to reach places. It is an all in one vacuum and I just love the ease to clean out the dirt container, one click and voila in the 
garbage and it also has a filter which helps with my allergies no dust flying around.
