Bought because my 2 year old vacuum was not cared for by others and it was damaged and lost the cord so oh my goodness I'll have to treat myself to a new one. I liked these because it has a brush head that is great for dogs. I find 2 medium sized attachments weird BUT knowing my little vacuum can be this size is pretty damn cool. Absorbent core. It can lift carpets off the floor so you know it's working well and I believe all parts of the filter can be hand cleaned to last longer without replacement. I also like that the holder for all of that has room for extra bits because at least I don't lose them this time. And of course I marked everything right away so that the cords don't get mixed up this time.
