this be my 3rd . Oreck and would not own anything else . . be very hard on vacuum think I would try the less expensive model . . it have great suction and lightweight . . it be a tad noisy , only have one speed , high , afraid it might scratch my wood floor but do not , and cord be bigger and longer and a bit cumbersome . . however , it be commercial . . for the price I be very satisfied ... oh , it be kinda power drive which make the mundane process quicker .
