This vacuum cleaner is ideal for the tough semi-commercial cleaning conditions it faces. It's a bit heavier than other vacuums I've looked at, but well worth the money. It has great suction, is very durable, has a long hose, cord and is quiet compared to similar vacuums I've used. I didn't like the included floor tool. I bought an adapter that fits my floor nozzle. Overall this is the best canister vacuum I have ever used and I would definitely recommend it if you are into cleaning. I bought mine through the Revain store as used/as new in the original packaging for half the price of a new unit. Revain assured me I would still get the two-year warranty, so it was a win-win for me.
