The Vacuum is excellent in build quality, the instructions are very good, and my kids were able to set it up in just about 15 minutes.
The best things about the Vacuum are: (1) Superior suction power (2) A place to keep all accessories so that you can wheel around the whole set, and (3) reasonably low noise.
For me, the vacuum has two Cons:
(1) It does not have a blower facility. That is strange, since most vacuums today have the blower facility. Some cleaning jobs can only be done with a blower, and I miss that feature.
(2) It has a paper dust bag, which is disposable, not a cloth bag that can be emptied and reused. I am not sure about the availability of spare bags, and since I plan to use it in my home and woodworking workshop, the bag will get filled up pretty quickly with wood dust and shavings, requiring me to keep buying new bags. I would have certainly preferred a cloth bag that I can empty out and reuse.
I will probably learn to live with the first drawback (no blower), but the second one (disposable paper dust bag), can potentially bite me if I start using it heavily. I am not sure about the cost and availability of new bags.
But overall, I am happy with the vacuum cleaner, and use it quite regularly.
