This is the second Eureka Stick Vac I have owned and I LOVE it (as does my housekeeper). The suction power is strong, there is a large container for dust and dirt. This model has a rotating brush head that can be used, which makes it better than other vacuums in my opinion. It also has a filter that is easy to clean. The only thing that could improve this vacuum cleaner would be if the cord was a bit longer. I have tile floors in most of my homes, so I like to have a "plug-in" model so the suction power is always top-notch (unlike a paid model that can fizzle out before all the work is done). My original Eureka Stick still works, but since it lasted over 6 years I decided to put it in the garage and get the latest model for home use. If you are looking for a reliable handheld vacuum, I recommend this rotating brush head model.
