My wife is very happy with light weight and the suctioning power.
My dad and I ran a vacuum repair shop when I was in High school and Kirby cleaners were our favorite. Right now I'm saving up to get another one. You can't beat the power of a Kirby. And they last forever if properly cleaned and care for.
The head fit right on my vacuum and has been working great.
I'm so thrilled with how easy this backpack vacuum is to use. It helps to have your hands somewhat free to make changing attachments a breeze. With the suction being able to be regulated, I can even vacuum those small area rugs without sucking them up. I love this vacuum and highly recommend it!
