I buy the previous 4870 model -lrb- in blue -rrb- about a year ago . unless they fix the follow issue , I would recommend do a little more research before buy this model . everything be fine until wife and I start notice the attachment end of hose start to have a tear along the first and second spring crease on hose end . fix by duct tape it far up the hose to prevent more tear , but now wife want another vacuum . I be ok with it as long as it work . the other complaint be that the small t-attachment that go above the cord storage area keep fall off and very difficult to snap in place .
