It was so heavy and cumbersome to use. I gave it to my daughter when she moved into a townhouse, and she hates it as well. It's now residing in her closet and only comes out when her Eureka fails. I have an Oreck upright for carpets and it is wonderful. I also have a Miele cannister and it is very light in weight and the most quiet vacuum I've ever had. All in all, I still prefer the Oreck above any of them.<BR></div></body></html>
