This is my second Eureka Mighty Mike canister vacuum.  The first laster 30 years!  This new model has only one disadvantage: the attachments are mounted on the canister body, which would be handy if I could fairly easily detach them from their clips.  But I cannot detach them easily, in fact have given up trying.  Fortunately, I kept the 30 year-old attachments to my old vacuum and am using those.  The new attachments remain permanently attached to the vacuum.  Otherwise, this vacuum is perfect for our hardwood floors and oriental rugs.  I am 100% satisfied with the units performance.
