content: Bought this vacuum 9 months ago and use it usually once a week. The vacuum is terrible difficult to clean and if you have pet hair the beater bar is completely useless it didn't work after the third time. suction got worse the longer i had it and now its broke in under a year and warranty is only 90 days!!! the part that attaches the hose to the cannister has two little plastic tabs and they broke as i was vacumming the tile i didnt pull hard or anything just broke! you cant avoiding taking the hose on and off as you have to clean the darn thing everytime you use it and that is the only way in and out of the tank. dont buy this unit it is terrible!!!
