I will never make a large purchase from internet again . buy local and support local business ! I be foolish to read review and think that be good enough for I to make a selection . first , the vacuum did not work out of the box , when it be plug in for the first time ; have to take it to warranty center in Hinsdale , il -lrb- Fullers - great place and fabulous service - not one question ask -rrb- . the electronic board have to be replace - mind you , the vacuum have never be use - simply pull out of the shipping box - non working . darned thing be way too heavy ; in five year I 'll be 60 and will not look forward to lift it . a $ 500 vacuum - surely it can pick up dirt and hair efficiently and not need to be so darned heavy to manipulate - move from floor to area rug . the swivel function be nice , but I 'll take my 20 year old hoover over this any day .
