Works well . Cleans well . my one big complaint be that the thing be very heavy . we have have it for almost a year now . we live in a two story house . my wife buy a separate cleaner for upstairs so she do not have to lug this thing up and down . if it matter to you , pay attention to the weight . significantly heavier than we old sharp -lrb- which be wonderful , but now broken and sharp do not seem to make vacuum any more -rrb- . also heavier than all the current best buy on consumer report -lrb- 3\/2010 -rrb- .
