I got my vacuum cleaner today, maybe a bit premature to write this but I cleaned my whole house and I love it! I bought it to replace my Riccar Prima after the engine burned out. First, I should never have had an $800 Prima if I could get my hands on it. The suction power is much better. The furniture nozzle is ideal for animal hair. The ONLY thing I would change is to make the hose a bit more flexible as it is stiff. Longevity after extended use in our large busy household may change my mind but for now I am sooo happy with this purchase.
