Purchased this vacuum to replace a bissell that stunk. This vacuum was great at first, great suction, picked up alot of the dog hair my other vacuum missed. Easy to empty but then if the filters are not cleaned after every vacuum the vacuum losses suction. Then there is the problem of if you use it to long it shuts off and you have to wait for it to cool down I geuss in order for it to turn on again. Needless to say I returned it and got my money back.
