Although the suction was good and the noise level was low, I was unable to remove and empty the bin. plugged. Then a neighbor came to the rescue, somehow pulled it out, and when he put it back in, two tiny pieces of cheap plastic that appeared to be holding the canister immediately snapped off. Remember that the vacuum cleaner must be carried by the handle of the container and not by the vacuum cleaner itself. Really stupid design. Making a product like this and using the cheapest and most fragile plastic to support an important function is just plain ridiculous. Now I have a new vacuum cleaner that has to be held together with several layers of tape that I can't lift and that I have to unwind and put new tape on every time I need to empty it. It's too late to return. Don't buy this. This is expensive for a poorly designed and instantly broken machine.
