Perfect vacuum. It's so quiet that it gives the impression that it doesn't suck hard. But my goodness, this quality thing sucks the dirt out of the carpet and floor, you'll swoon. Seriously, this vacuum cleaner is unexpectedly better than the first impression I had upon unboxing. I'm very, very happy and because I really hate vacuuming I'm really looking forward to it. It picks up pet hair and other things easily. I am very satisfied and can recommend this cutie. I love canister vacuums in general. Light, powerful, solid. I have to get paid advertising for that. :)
