I have owned this vac for about 1 1/2 years. I was very happy with it at first and it did pick up alot of dirt and hair that my old vac had apparently missed. The attachments are a little cumbersome to use - you have to pull the wand out, push the button to release it and put on your floor attachments. It does not do well on sculpture carpets, but does well on bare floors. The head on the vac is very high, so it is impossible to clean under anything that is less than 6-8" high (such as kitchen cabinet overhangs, beds). The cyclone chamber cannot be taken apart and cleaned. Dirt and hair has accumulated over time and is causing it to become clogged, thus affecting the suction. It is a nice vac, but I'm not sure if I will spend the money on another. I think there are other vacs out there that are just as good and alot less expensive.
