I hate this thing. Sorry I ordered it. I've had two of the yellow ones and swear by them. They made the pipe that connects to the head metal on this--I guess it's supposed to be nice to be able to elongate it simply--but it's heavy and impossible to whip off to reach corners without the head like I did with my old yellow one. Tried using the metal pipe in a corner--it ripped my linoleum and it's heavy. Awful. The pet attachment works nicely.
