I have have this vacuum about 1 month-definitely plenty of suction , as claim . the path be wide so you can finish a room quickly . unlike the dyson , you do have to manually change a switch to go to bare floor or to use the hose , but the suction be really good and at around $ 100 be way more affordable than a dyson . the replacement bag be easy to find at store and you do not have to shake the dusty dirt into the trash can , just pull out the bag and put in a new one . Amazon be definitely the best price around and walmart have stop carry this model .
