First off , do not buy this vacuum if you think you will use the hose\/attachments to clean drapes\/furniture . for some unfathomable reason detach the hose open up a unfiltered exhaust ; whatever you vacuum with the attachment blow right out the back , cover the vacuum , the vacuumer , and the room you just vacuum in dust . it be literally worse than do nothing . the build quality seem pretty cheap ; a plastic clip snap off when I attach the handle , and this be with I follow the direction and not force anything . for floor vacuuming , I can not seem to find a setting for most of my rug that allow the vacuum to glide while still pick up dirt . the three filter system be also ridiculous . why this vacuum get such rave review be totally beyond I . I be between this vacuum and the Eureka Airspeed and settle on the Bissell since target be closer to I than Walmart . if I be you I would try the Airspeed .
