My previous 15 year old Kenmore canister power pack finally got into the shop. This vacuum is amazing, it moves a huge amount of air and collects something that the previous old vacuum didn't have. I wanted a different vacuum with a manual attachment as these things work great in car interiors with pet hair that seems to be woven into the car's upholstery somehow. It's quiet enough, although the dog ran and hid when I turned on the new one, I suspect there's some sort of high-frequency noise I can't hear, but it can! Overall I'm happy with this vacuum, although one issue is that the supplied 'tools' aren't stored anywhere on the vacuum and it doesn't come with a hard floor attachment, which is odd as it brags about how good it is. on hard floors? Hence the four stars.
