I get lucky and find this vacuum on sale at Kohls for $ 99 and snatch the last one they have available . in fact , I have to have one Kohls look up other area store to locate the one I do find because they would about sell out of they . I can see why . this vacuum be excellent for the price . I love the ease of use it and the convenience that it offer . it have great suction and have yet to give I any problem . I have have mine almost a year and would highly recommend it to anyone .
