Although I never before thought this was possible, this vacuum has almost too much suction.  The hose attachment will grab onto surfaces and is sometimes hard to move even when the suction adjustment is fully open.  The hose seems to be cheaply made and does not feel like it will last .  The floor attachment doesn't glide smoothly and, although I do not see any marks left behind, it feels and sounds like it is scraping my floors.  I would be concerned if I had laminate floors but thankfully, mine are stained concrete.  Saving the cord requires that you actually pick up the canister so you can wind it around the bottom clip.  Also, if you run this vacuum for longer than 5 minutes it gets extremely hot.
