I am so happy with this purchase. Previously I was using Miele Vaccum 8 years. It was broken. But I did not want to pay too much for new vacuum. Like someone else mentioned, yes, this Vacuum is so stinky at first 3-4 times use. Just like a brand new car. However after a month past, not smells bad anymore(I used at least 5-6times). It is powerful enough for our 1000SQF condo. Which has mid length carpets and hardwood floor. Best things about this vacuum is, 1. Easy to handle. (Too heavy to carry in the hand, though) , 2,powerful enough to clean hard wood floor and carpets.(FYI, We have 3 cats) 3,the horse never become tangled during the operation. (previous vacuum horse always got tangled) . 4.Price is acceptable for us. (Not cheap, cheap but compare with our previous one, it's less than half)
I am quite happy with my purchase with confidence.
