This little vacuum work pretty good it does get hot around the motor but my easy clean 2 gets a little warm too . So I figure its just the motor working hard and my carpets are dirty we have 3 cats and a 180 to 200 pound black lab mix so pet dander and odor are strong plus 3 people and nieces and nephews there is a lot foot traffic .I will update my review if anything odd happens or if it over heats. Also compare to my eureka easy clean 2 the mighty mite is a lot better and has a hepa filter
