works great, realitively quiet, no dust on the exhaust side of the vacuum, nice value.  Works best on hard surfaces, on carpet it has a difficult time collecting all the dirt but that would be expected in this time of vacuum.  Light weight and simple, not too complex where a lot of things woould break.  Uses bags and filters that really do help keep the house clean while using it - no dust blowing out of the vacuum like a lot of other stlyes do.
