I purchased this vacuum cleaner because we had an old Mighty Mite vacuum cleaner at our camp and it was great. The only reason we had to purchase a new one was because the people staying at our camp took the mighty mite with them.  (I guess they decided it worked so well, they'd help themselves.) So...ordered a new mighty mite and was extremely disappointed.  The hose is so cheap, it kinks constantly. the attachments are equally as cheap. The vauum cleaner does not have much suction. It works terrible on rugs and you have to go over your floors multiple times to get anything sucked up.  It's a big bust and not worth the money. They definately don't make them like the used to.
