I have have many `` top of the line '' vacuum and have like all of they . however , the Miele S7210 twist upright impress I more than any of the other . it be a little heavy , so if you be go up and down stair you may not like it . however , it be very maneuverable - that be the twist aspect . it have great suction . but I like most the hose tool feature . it be so easy to get the hose from the vacuum port and it extend very easily . the instruction warn to never use it without its tool as the wand end itself be very sharp and be easily damage . I would agree with that . the one drawback that I see with this be that you have to purchase a accessory pack to get other end than a crevice tool , small suction end , and brush end . to get a larger bare floor tool you need to get it individually as well as some other . there be a car care accessory kit . as far as cost , this be sell at $ -lrb- . . -rrb- with free shipping and that make it a very good deal . oh , I almost forget , it be very quiet compare with other vacuum I have use .
