Excellent – This has been an awesome vacuum and is still going strong after 5 years (apart from the retract button). It does a massive house with ease and switches from carpets to hard floors quickly. I would definitely recommend this to anyone wanting a small, quiet, lightweight vacuum that still does the hard yards. This is a small, light weight, very easy to use machine. It has great suction even when the bag is full (when the bag is empty, I have to turn the suction down!). Comes with useful attachments and the main vacuum head switches from carpet to hard floors easily. There is also a switch to help collect pet hair more effectively from the carpet (and it works). The cord is also a lot longer than other vacuums we looked at so big plus. The auto retract button broke in the first year of having the machine so when you're vacuuming, the cord would slowly retract. Other than that, its a great machine.
