I have the vacuum cleaner now since mid-November 2014 and it sucks still as good as in the beginning, so no loss of suction. I live in a block and work all day. That I suck mostly before work in the morning at 7 clock. I can easily set it to a lower level and it sucks the laminate still flawlessly from. The neighbors have so far not even complained that it too loud ist.Bei my PVC in the kitchen I have to ask him even to nearly the lowest level, because otherwise it raises the PVC. It fit in even the cheap vacuum cleaner bags by Rossmann, so you do not necessarily buy the original vacuum cleaner bag. For me there is only one small defect: The floor nozzle is still very high, so I will not be so under the sofa, but on occasion I'll take care of me once to a lower one. The cable loose enough for the whole apartment (77 square meters) and would probably extend even further. It rolls still still good on without hook great. For me, the suction and the suction strength is crucial and that is definitely great. Overall, the value for money is great, it need not be always expensive.
