I am a professional cleaner. This vacuum has amazing suction power, a large tank and the longest cord I've ever had on a vacuum. A few bad things. The rod extension clip broke and I used it for a week. This vacuum cleaner is very heavy, it hits the corner of the wall and almost tears the drywall off. It's hard to pull behind you as it's heavy and the cable is so long it gets caught in the wheel. For almost the $264 I paid for it, I feel like the parts shouldn't break anymore.
