very good vacuum , this be the second of this model that we own , the first be purchase a few year ago . we have a 2-story house , so 1 stay upstairs & this one stay downstairs . the only problem we have have with either of they be that the step pedal on the newer one break after the first couple of use , which do not interfer with the operation just make secure upright a little more challenging . we do not return for a replacement as we have already throw out the box it arrive in .
