I ordered this vacuum to save space in our garage and to get rid of an outdated hard vacuum with a cord and hose that was too short. This machine is high quality in every way. It's not cheap, but you get what you pay for. I installed it on the wall in the center of our 3 car garage and it can easily reach any part of the garage with a 30ft hose. There are small details that might not be obvious that make this vacuum cleaner awesome. First, the Pro version I got comes with a full set of accessories and a nylon mesh pouch to store them. As already mentioned, the stick is made of metal. I don't think anyone else said it snapped out so you only need to save a short length of tubing. All high-quality nozzles actually have soft bristles for in-car use. The performance of this thing for a 30ft hose is incredible. It is very powerful, I have quite exotic vacuum cleaners at home, including Festool. This thing beats them all in terms of suction power. If you've read reviews that make you hesitate to buy this until then, don't ignore them and pull the trigger. You will be impressed and just as happy as I am after it arrives. If Vacumaid reads these reviews, I think there are a few things that could be improved to make this cleaner even more affordable: 1) Provide a hanging hook on the side of the bin. to hold the tool bag. 2) Attach a spring clip to the side of the canister to hold the metal rod.
