This vacuum cleaner is very convenient to use. The cut is good, I like the on/off button on the handle, but the design of the canister stinks. The pivoting front wheel causes the machine to rock back and forth and hit the posts etc when towed. The front wheel does not roll over the rope, so it has to be wheeled around or lifted. When pulling the carpet, the canister flips over and the nozzle compartment opens and the nozzles fall out, the HEPA filter keeps falling out. It's just very cumbersome to use and I wouldn't recommend this device at all.
