I did not expect the world at this price. The vacuum cleaner is light, sucks well and cleans carpets well. The main claim to the extension cord. it is simply too short and attached too high on the device. Any attempt to use the probe or brush attachment will result in the machine tipping over. I vacuumed almost every inch of the 2,200-square-foot home (including toilets and bathrooms) with no problem the first time I used it. except tilting it dozens of times. At least nothing broke or fell off.
