I have only have this vacuum for about a month . it have great suction and a power tool that really work well . I opt for this model because of the bagged feature and the hand hold power tool -lrb- replace a Bissel bagless with a worthless handheld power tool -rrb- . have be happy with Eureka vac in the past ; time will tell whether this one will hold up and live up to my expectation .
