This is an awesome little vacuum for the price and fills in without the inconvenience of try to use the hose attachment with your upright. AND, it has a disposable bag that filters the exhaust air. SO, when you suck up bug, you never see them in the upright type bagless vac's. Just pull out the bag and put in a new clean/empty one. It has a long cord, works great in those hard to reach areas under shelves and in behind the toilet. Even works wonders on the exhaust vent covers on 10 foot ceilings. The big wheels on the back make it easy to maneuver, and the extra attachments give you all the cleaning power for most every clean task. BUT use your upright for everyday carpet cleaning, but when the Christmas tree comes down, and its a real tree, it does wonders on the carpet to pickup the needles that fall off...then you simply slip in a new empty bag...and its ready to go.
