The only problem for me is that the bristles on the floor brush wear out and it's difficult to buy parts separately. When the stopper got stuck in the plastic corner of the hose, I managed to get it out by buying a $3.78 10 foot silver metal pipe at the (hardware store) and pulling it out the other end in the (hardware store) parking lot. I was going to return the pipe but decided to store it in the garage instead! What good are these reviews if they aren't funny or educational?
