Almost perfect. Eliminates "too short and heavy" sticks on my canister vacuum. We have a hardwood floor and no carpets, so we didn't need a motorized nozzle. Not being able to remove the cord and clips on the poles left us with extra weight. The original sticks were also over 4 inches shorter than these replacement sticks, and that 4 inches makes a world of difference when it comes to chasing cobwebs on a false ceiling. Our attachments are perfect for the bottom stick. The top stick doesn't line up perfectly and doesn't click into place, but the sliding hinge is tight enough that it doesn't matter. This is the reason for only 4 stars. If it ever gets too loose I pull out the tape. The longer length and easier lifting definitely improved the cleaning experience. But I still hate vacuuming.
