I bought this because it was on sale. I was hesitant being the old saying you get what you pay for. But I took the chance and ordered it. I love it. It's great as a stick vacuum or a hand held vacuum. I was blown away by it's suction power. The only thing I don't like is that it's corded not cordless. But other than that this is a superior stick vacuum. And it's craftsmanship Is perfect
