I actually love it, and think it is one the best vacuums I have ever used. But, we have a central vac, and my wife wants the canister vac for the other jobs around the house. It is very lightweight and manuverable. It also has a ton of suction, as much as our central vac. Emptying the collection bin is a snap, and there are NO bags to buy!!! I use it out in the workshop now to clean a few rugs and that is it.
