Do not buy this vacuum cleaner! I've lived in my house for four years and changed three of these vacuum cleaner tips, two of which were under warranty (I've had them for less than a year) so Nu Tone was a pleasure to work with and they sent me new replacement tips that is also broken. I decided to buy it again because the rest of my central vacuum was Nu Tone and this time the head motor broke in less than two months! If you don't need a disposable vacuum, don't waste your money on this thing.
