just get this vacuum and already very impressed . we other vacuum should have be retire long ago as this one do twice the job the other one do . we have a Dirt Devil Vision and think it be great , but wow , be we wrong . Eureka have a gem in this vacuum . just as it be be say , if adjust to the correct height , it tug itself forward . it be heavy , but the return you get from this vacuum be well worth the weight . only one fault with it that I find so far , and that be the storage location of the power paw . when vacuum and the cord be move around as you push and pull the vacuum around the house , it get catch on the paw and pop out of it be holder -lrb- not enough a reason for I to be upset or unhappy with it -rrb- . I be play around with the placement of the cord to see if that help . the paw be impressive as well . one other nice feature I find be that in order to see the belt you normally have to dismantle the vacuum , this one have a window so that be not necessary . the light be not really effective , but who vacuum in the dark anyway ? love the fact that when it be in the upright position , the beater bar stop spin also love that option to turn the suction to the hose from the floor . very nice feature . it seem very sturdy and that it should last quite a while . search through hundred of review , several vacuum , and ton of `` top ten vacuum '' poll , and the lowest I be able to find this vacuum be # 5 . almost all of they compare this to the Dyson , some rate it above the Dyson in performance and price . I be impressed with this machine , we carpet have be look like crap for a long time and do not know it until we get this vacuum .
