I bought similar model about two years ago and it is already broken. It has cheap plastic parts, the service is very bad. I went to fantom site and placed my order for replacement parts and it has been over 3 month and I didn't receive any parts. I am going to go and buy a new vacuum cleaner and not to deal with this company anymore.I don't have any recomendations for what type of vacuum cleaner to buy, but don't buy Fantom.
