I be pleased with the Portapower Vacuum . it be so much easier than push a upright or pull a canister vacuum . much easier to do stair also . Works fine on my low pile carpet . not too heavy for over my head\/shoulder . nice selection of attachment . Easy to attach\/detach . the bag be easy to clean and so there be no need for buying and replace disposable bag . it be perfect for what I want . the only thing that in my opinion could be better be the cord . it be nice and long so I can clean everywhere in my townhouse without have to replug , but it be very stiff and hard to roll up for storage . perhaps it will soften with use .
