This is my very first canister vacuum. I have always used an upright, but, after reading many reviews here, and talking with friends, decided to go with a canister. This is one of the less expensive canister vacuums my local Sears offered, but, went with it on the advice of the associate who helped me. It has far surpassed what I expected. So much suction, with lots of great little tools to help me get in the nooks and crannies of my house that hook up easily to the hose. The stair attachment is fantastic. I am SO happy with this vacuum. I have used it a bunch in the 2 weeks I have owned it, only because, it is so satisfying to actually have a vacuum that does such an amazing job.
Would HIGHLY recommend. I also purchased the HEPA filters, which help to catch those nasty allergens, as I have one asthmatic boy in the house-I was so happy to see those were available.
