For only a fraction of what you would pay for a full power vacuum, you get same powerful suction without those I considered good-to-have but non-critical features like auto cord rewind and several extra brush heads. You did need to clean the filter often but I don't mind too much. It's a really good vacuum for those who need one to clean area rugs or small carpeted rooms, and not want to spend too much money.Get more detail about Eureka 437AZ Optima Lightweight Upright Vacuum.
