So I bought this vacuum cleaner for $50 with a coupon, its new price is $159. Will I personally spend $159 on this vacuum? Absolutely not! Only reason I bought it was because I had a coupon and it was cheap, I got it for my camper van so wasn't expecting anything spectacular but it does the job. I wouldn't expect it to pick up a clump of dog hair or anything like that, but it does a good job of getting the job done and the suction power.
