Do yourself a favor and do NOT buy this vaccuum if you plan on using it indoors. We've had ours for months and its a pain to use on carpet, the suction is not good and you can only pull the hose and attachment not push. Also it tends to shoot out alot of dust no matter how often you change the filter. For awhile I kept smelling what smelt like stinky feet and finally realized it was coming from the vaccuum. Its is very easy to knock it over while trying to move it and when that happens you have to turn it off and back on again because it will no longer have the suction.It is useful for one thing though... sucking up bugs!If your looking for a good quality vaccuum you dont have to spend a whole lot more money, I bought one of those Hoover Windtunnels for about $150.00 and I absolutely love it. it works just as good as my mother-in-laws Dyson if not better.
