I be a smart buyer use consumer report and always do my research before I purchase anything . I just like read up on product that haven prove reliability and do they job , consumer report rate this Eureka model very well . the price be right and I like the attachment right on the vacuum , good idea . I have allegy and really want the dust , and pile dirt remove from my rug . I have purchase other light weight vacuum but the power be just not there to suck up the dirt .
