I be very pleased with this vacuum cleaner . this be actually my second purchase of the same product because I want to keep one on each floor of the house . it be heavy to lug up and down the stair , but it do a great job clean the rug . the hose accessory be great for the stair . I be able to get alot of use out of this product . the first one I buy about 3 or 4 year ago and it be still run great . I have replace the belt , etc. as recommend in the owner manual , but other than maintenance on it , it run fine . I have not have any problem with it .
