- Yeah, I bought one of these last summer. Paid about $140 for it.
- The air flow tubes clog up with rug fuzz and stop working,
- it doesn't seem to have much suction in general, and the cord is
- detaching from the handle. I'd look into a better model with a
- beater bar, and use a separate canister model. I fully intend to
- replace my upright soon. By the way, I have a Dirt Devil canister
- model, and it seems to work fairly well.... it is nice and compact.

- I'd look at a Hoover.
