The HEPPA filter housing does not have a clamp to keep it shut. The force of the blower sent it flying open, popping the filter out every time. I finally had to take strapping tape to keep it shut. Also, there is apparent trouble sucking stuff from the wand into the bag. I have to use the wand around the cat litter box. After doing this the first day, I went to use the vacuum the 2nd day. I pushed on it a bit in trying to move it and everything I had vacuumed the first day came out onto my bathroom floor. Poorly made. However, it did one thing well - it did vacuum the carpet well.
