Good – This is a really good moderately priced bagless vacuum cleaner and is a pleasure to use. It is important to clean the dust filters after each use to maintain optimum efficiency, and this is achieved by washing in fresh water and although something not necessary to do with bag vacuum cleaners it is a trade off worth making to be free of the replacement costs of dust bags. This is the first bagless vacuum cleaner I have owned and after more than 6 months use have found it delivers what the I expected from a mid priced unit. It is large enough to fully vacuum a three bedroom house without having to empty the canister until finished. I always use it at the full power setting and it works at the same efficiency from start to finish. The canister is simple to disengage and engage for emptying of lint. The electric cord is long enough without having to move to more than two power points during cleaning. The large rear wheels allow the unit to maneuver easily on hard and soft flooring. The regular suction head works well on hard and soft floors and the air driven power head is excellent in picking up stubborn pieces of thread and small objects on carpet and rugs. The connection of the hose to the unit does not swivel freely and at times this causes the hose to loop back on itself,kink and choke the air flow. It wold be better if the rotating on/off and power control knob was a slide control so that it could be adjusted with operators feet in standing position. The second lid on the dust canister needs to be modified so that it can be removed as easily as the one designed to empty the dust to allow occasional thorough cleaning of the whole canister with water.
