I buy this after have problem with my previous Bissel bagless model , which lose its suction . this Eureka model work very well , have plenty of power , look kinda cool , and have lot of attachments\/cleaning mode . only downside be : the foot release lock be sorta hard to push ; it be kind of heavy , for a house with stair ; it be a tad loud ; the plastic body piece be a little too hard and rigid and it seem they could break in a couple year . overall I be very pleased with the purchase , after consult consumer report , etc. -lrb- I choose this over the blue Hoover model , which seem just a little too cheap -rrb- .
