I love this vacuum . it be light and comfortable . the suction be strong and work well on all surface . the head maneuver easily . the rear , off the floor exhaust keep dust from blow around . the see-thru lid be great and bag be easy to change . this thing pick up dog hair cling to rug . we use it in the house and for the car . ok , the long cord , with no storage be not great , but I do not care . if the cord be more `` limp '' it would be easier to coil .
