just get it today . I have second thought from some of the review , but order it anyway . a lot of the newer vacuum have -lrb- some -rrb- cheap plastic part . that the way thing be build these day . the have a few , but it look like they put the money into the good part . I mean , look at the price for a powerful vacuum . : - -rrb- this thing have a lot of suction . they also make a nice touch of put a handle on the hose which make it very easy to use accessory . the upholstery accessory work overtime . since I just get it today , I will need a little time to really use it . I will be back with update . oh , on another note ... I never read the paperwork ... just take this out of the box ... put it together in less than 3 min ... Update 7\/1\/2012 . I end up get rid of this thing . have try a few and they end up leak what you vacuum . too much mantainance .
