this vacuum be rank very high in consumer report when I purchase it around 5 year ago . it work fine , no major complaint until now . it be not a old vacuum -lrb- 5 year of use , maybe 100 use in its life -rrb- and it fritz out on I yesterday . Motor be seize and short out . this be just from normal usage . it be too expensive to repair so I 'll have to end up get a new one . I be not happy as I expect a lot more from it .
