we have have the sweeper out of the box for about 10 day . we have use it quite a bit and enjoy it even though it be a very heavy sweeper . we have replace the bag already due to all of the dust it pick up . we be in the middle of ` spring cleaning ' we 3rd room last night and when I check on the bag , the front handle break . I seem to go back together , but it come back off . not even a hour later , the tilt-relase lever break . I think it too just come unsnapped , but after fall off 3-4 time , I realize that it have break off too . the piece that break be part of the base and not cheaply\/easily replace . needless to say , it 'll be back in the box and back to the store shortly . now we be think about a Dyson , but can not afford it right now . we previous Dirt Devil last we about 12 year . the previous Eureka before that only last about 4 . I also do not like the tube design on the new Eureka . I find out my Dirt Devil tube that be easier to use fit the new Eureka .
