this be a vacuum from a respected brand and since it weigh a ton I hope it would have some strength and substance . the problem I have with it be three : the plastic part be cheap and snap off easily , the height adjustment be so poorly design that it bump up against the vacuum and will not turn and when the roller stop spin -lrb- and it do -rrb- replace the belt be a real pain with lot of screw and prying . I would not buy it again and hope that Eureka make the investment to improve this vacuum . on the bright side , we have a large house with dog , cat , kid and lot of visitor so my wife and I vacuum every single day and it have already last a over year without loss of power . this be longer than comparably price vacuum and I be impressed . Eureka could think like a user and fix this unfriendly monster and I would buy another one if they do . until then , stay away from it .
