I specifically purchased this vacumm because of its lightness of weight as advertised because I have upper body weakness that affect both my arms. The weight of the product lived up as advertised. However, I found the following troublesome:1. The vacumm belt broke when it ran over its cord. 2. The replacement vacumm belts were not readily available in stores where vacumm supplies were sold. 3. The manual's instructions for changing the vacumm belt were unclear and confusing. This included the drawings that were part of the instructions. 4. The drawings did not show or indicate where the belt should be placed. 5. The area where the belt was to be placed was in a tight quartered area that was almost inaccessible. 6. The plastic wheels did not roll well over carpeted areas. 7. The vacumm cleaner did not appear to automatically adjust its height when moving over carpeted floors.
