I LOVE THIS VACUUM, it's 100% perfect for apartments or quick spot vacuuming in homes. Eureka has a winner on it's hands. I especially LOVE the old "tank" design as opposed to the current square "canister" design all vacuums companies are now using. Look no further in it's price range THIS IS the best on the market. So many pluses  but just to name a few...extra long cord, massive suction, long hose.
