I recommend this vacumm for anyone with bare floors.  Over the years I've bought several combo over priced vacuums.  Enough!  This one is light, compact and with a very strong suction power.  I don't like the brush that comes with it because the opening at the bottom is very small so one might think the vacuum is not good but in reality the design of the brush is poor.  I bought one of the hairy brushes that was suggested when I bought the vacuum.  This wills make your experience with this vacuum incredible.  I now vacuum my house in less that 15 min and love seeing my floors without dust bunnies (and hair) all over.
