on well-I do not think we suction power of a carriage aspi; But there is more than enough for the use I have, plus it is beautiful, it looks solid, dismantling mounting clips are effective, it does not take place, it's so much more convenient when it to climb to the rooms! before I had a classic aspi and it was really a chore to carry it! now is quickly caught and put back in place as quickly !! I am delighted with my purchase. filters easily removed too, hey it's never fun to empty the dust bin but that's for all the same I think! I have already washed filters, nothing to report. I never use long - I do not spend the aspi whole house at once - as the charge is quite sufficient in relation to me.
