this vacuum be the best . and at this price ... or for any price . I have a similar model and it last I for 7 year and that be like for age for a person who vacuum the house every day or every other day . the suction be great . it be heavy , but that be because the motor be so powerful . before i buy another Eureka , i look at other brand at higher price , but i know that the best choice would be Eureka Boss 4870 . it have my highest recommendation .
