Not to mention that they are great vacuums. They aren't the quietest, nor are they the most powerful, but damn if they don't store a lot of dust, and keep working. We dropped ours down the stairs (by accident) multiple times over the years and it's still working as-new. The only real functional impediment is the fact that the handle broke off a long time ago. We did buy a new handle, unfortunately the newer models use a slightly smaller handle so it doesn't fit. Still, just the fact that they sell spare parts at all in this day and age is impressive.
