I purchased this item on sale, the original price was, just that, pricey. so I had high hopes it was a quality product. It works okay, some of the connecting parts are difficult to snap. The suction is wanting. For example, I spilled some dry split peas on my kitchen floor (laminate) and it would have taken me less time to sweep them with a broom and dustpan than to use this vacuum. Hard items like the split peas would get sucked up, and then some of them would spit back out as the rotator brush turned. The vacuum head that moves across the floor is also quite small. For what I purchased it for, it will be okay, but I wouldn't pay more than I did.
