I do have to say this be one of the best vacuum I have use as far as suction . I do not know my carpet have nap until I use this one . this model have such good review that I purchase it in spite of it not have a few feature I usually prefer think it do not matter . it do matter and if I have it to do over again , I would have choose a vacuum with those feature . pro : ~ great suction , even use a extra long hose . ~ long cord allow I to vacuum entire apartment without stop to unplug and replug in each room con : ~ the edge of the vacuum only pick on up the right side . there be about a 5 '' strip that do not pick up on the left side . I figure I would just turn the vacuum around for the left side . that be not always possible or be very difficult depend on wall and furniture arrangement . ~ no front light . do not think that matter , but after use one without it , it really do help to have that light show what be in front of the vacuum . ~ LOL , the long cord - sometimes get tangled and a lot to round up . but it be worth it to be able to reach without have to unplug and replug . ~ do not come with the hose that go out the back -lrb- unless you somehow disconnect and reattach the hose on the unit ??? - I could not figure that one out -rrb- so I order a extra long one . Wish I go with 5 foot but I want to be sure I could reach the ceiling for bug . it be a pain to store and use , but it do work and it be always long enough ! on my budget , it be not worth re-invest in a new vacuum and this one do work well . I just wish I have get one with suction on both side , a light in front , and a shorter hose .
