Purchased this vaccuum due to it’s reasonable price. It has great suction. I was amazed how much it picked up from our berber carpet and even our NEW plush carpet. It’s easy to use and it was very easy to assemble. I love the fact that the canister is removable -it makes sweeping the steps SOOOOO much easier. The attachments are not quite up to par though. Namely the pet hair attachment. It works great on furniture, but as soon as it hits the carpet it seizes up and will not spin (there is a mini belt in the attachment). After just one use i am going to have to open it up to free it.
