I have 4 kids and have gone through I couldn't tell you how many vacuums.  We live in the country so trying to keep dust and dirt out of the house is a never ending battle.  This vacuum cleaner has been the best one I have ever used. 

All the other bagless vacuums come with filters that need replaced, which are very expensive, or say that you can wash them, which you can, it's just they get packed with dust and dirt so easily that you vacuum one strip and then clean filter..........With this vacuum cleaner there is no filter to be replaced, no clogging. 

It's light weight and the handle adjusts...
