I own two mighty mite vacuum cleaners. One is about six years old, the other less than a year. Suction is great, and it's pretty light weight and easy to move around. I also just bought one for a relative, who is ecstatic with it. I vacuum a lot, so I'm picky about vacuums. I will continue to buy mighty mites for as long as they're sold. I haven't found another cannister that picks up as well or lasts as long.
