Used in less than half an hour when the hose separates from the part you are holding and attaching tools. Tried contact adhesive, didn't help. Wrapped in electrical tape that lasts the third day of use. It seems to have excellent suction power. Loud, deafening screeching of the engine. The tools are cheap, with a bad angle. Lightweight, easy to carry. I tried to vacuum the carpet lightly - it's impossible to move the nozzle on the carpet. I wish I could buy one for twice the price but I was trying to save money and was hoping it would work for my vacation home. Don't waste money.
