no complaints about the effectiveness of the cleaner, carpet taking off at full power !!!! by against big downside mainly on the strength of the handle with a plastic part is already broken after a few uses ... small top handle of the aluminum tube used to remove it from the plastic elbow snapped during handling but it's still possible to do so ... we hesitated to return the vacuum cleaner but we believe it recassera because the plastic is fragile at this place and can always easily uncouple the handle ... hope the rest will be stronger .... bcp other reviews about the noise ... yes it is noisy but extremely effective!
