In short, don't buy it. The suction is very poor because of horribly-made hose and plastic tube. The power of the motor is about 1300 Watts, but I very seriously doubt that even half of that power works to clean dirt. Air leaks are really bad: hose to canister connection, hose to tube connection, tube interconnection, tube to brush connection. Tubes are made of cheap plastic and are wobbling all the time no matter how hard I'm trying to push one into another (and I'm a strong guy BTW).
