I've been using the same $39 Prime Day vacuum for about four years, it's an amazing improvement. Filtering the air going through your vacuum cleaner is more important than I thought. The air is much more comfortable to breathe after using this vacuum than my cheap one. minuses. The plastic is strong but feels cheap, the top doesn't bond well to the base. It's hard to know if you've lined it up correctly, and it's possible to pinch it if it's not lined up. All vacuum attachments are terrible. Poor suction, they don't slide well, throw them in the trash as soon as the return window closes. Budget in a third party head, don't order this vacuum without ordering some attachments.
