I bought this Mighty Mite to replace my 1998 identical canister though a different color combo.  I loved that vacuum because I could easily carry it around the house to dust, and clean out the floor vents, to keep the dust off of my upholstered furniture, to clean the tops of door and window frames and ceiling vent fans.  etc etc.  You get it............it's a handy and light dynamo. You can just pull it along with you too on it's 3 wheels. There are 2 large ones in the back and a third up front. Tripod of wheels.
