Rating: 8

Time with product: 2 Weeks

Strengths: Bagless, good suction on hard surface floors

Weaknesses: heavy and it's width makes it a little difficult to maneuver

Summary: This is the first new upright vacuum I've purchased in ten years. It is very sturdy, and I like not having to buy bags. We have all hard floors and a few large area rugs. It has great suction and seems to get a lot of dirt I must have missed with the old vacuum. We have two large dogs and two cats, and it seems to do very well with getting the hair up. The attachment works well on furniture & getting the cat hair. It has a high profile and does not get under edges of the furniture very well, and the edge cleaning does not work as well as my old vac. Other than that, I am pleased with it and for the price, it's a good value.
