I think I would finally find a vacuum that do not easily clog -lrb- because the dirt path be more direct into the bag -rrb- and pretty much do what I want . however , as other have note the plastic do break . the release mechanism from the lock upright position to allow vacuuming be difficult to operate and do not appear to be of a very good design . it eventually break . when I call the `` 800 '' number about service I find the nearest warranty service be about 130 mile away even though Eureka list nine major store sell its product in town . the other problem I find be that you can not talk to a live person : Eureka provide one number for `` service '' with four option and press `` o '' will not do any good . this be get so typical of many company . I will not deal with this attitude so its go back !
