Probably best vaccuum I have ever owned. I only ever buy stand up vacuums but this one had great reviews and I thought, what the heck. It is really light. I hardly ever notice it trailing along behind me, and it has a really good suction! I love the long hose and different attachments. Whereas I used to just vacuum my rugs, now my cleaning routine consists of me vacuuming everything in my house. I mean everything. Lol. It goes from hardwood to carpet easily, the bags last a long time. There are 2 cons on this product in my opinion. 1) the cord does not retract, and 2) the hose is somewhat thin and occasionally kinks. It does seem the hose won't last long but I can't imagine it is much to replace.
