A nice compact, light, but powerful vac to have.  I still like my Kenmore canister vac, but of course, it's heavier & bigger to lug around.  I did have to glue some felt strips onto the large wheels as they had a tendency to scratch my new "wood" floors. I also use the hard floor attachment from the Kenmore as it is a little softer.  The bristles on this seem rather scratchy also, but I do like being able to switch from hard to soft surfaces as I do have area rugs also.  It is rather loud as others have said.  The cord storage system is a bother, as there is no way to just use a shorter amount of the cord; you have to have it all dragging around.  But it is a nice long cord that does not require frequent moving from plug to plug.  (I am spoiled with the retractable cord winder system on my Kenmore.)  It has good suction.  For me the biggest plus is having dirt bags.  I have yet to see why people like bagless vacs!  They are messy & put untold amount of fine, almost invisible dust back into the air no matter how fancy their disposal system.  I've always had to vacuum again after emptying one.  And cleaning those air filters (on some models) are a health hazard!  You need gloves & a mask to do the job---& then have to vacuum again!  But I digress! Sorry!  That's my soap box for the day!
