This is a very basic, yet powerful vacuum cleaner...I find it a little hard to maneuver sometimes, as the hose is a little cheap.  But, I wanted a hepa filter on my vacuum without spending tons of money.  There is a weird flow adjusting hole that hurts if your finger gets sucked into it, but I covered it with several layers of black electrical tape, which has worked fine.  The pet paw works well on upholsterey and some rugs.  I wish it had a retractable cord, but it is such a good vacuum cleaner, I can overlook it not having bells and whistles.  I like the compact size too...stands on end in the closet.  I've had it for about 3 years now with no issues...one of my siblings has a $600 Miele, and I honestly don't like it as much as my Might Mite, fwiw.  The hepa filter is barely showing any dust, so the bags I ordered are working well too.
