Pros: light weight

Cons: none so far

I have owned the lower $500 version of this vac for over 2 years now, and I have not had any problems. The attachments are easy to use and are stored on the vac - side note = the attachments don't fall off or knock off easily when stored as on other ...vacs. I have a golden retriever who sheds a lot, and this vac picks up everything. It's light weight, and the power head attachment goes under most furniture. The power head attachment has the on - off swithch on the handle. The vac has several suction power levels. There are large vac bags which is not found very often on other vac models. It is also made of metal -and has taken two accidental falls down the stairs without any damage. I am hoping that this vac will last as long as my old electorlux - which was over 30 years. BTW = my mother has owned sears vacs. She has gone though 2 since I've owned my Miele - I would not consider a sears vac a good buy. After all, who wants to have their housework interrupted to get another vac. Read more Less
