I've only had this for a month, but enjoying it so far. I purchases this for my residential cleaning business in which I was previously using an upright vacuum that was not at all suitable for the workload and did not have the maneuverability needed to get underneath furniture.
-It's light weight, especially compared to other BPVs I've used.
-Easy to take apart and clean.
-Attachments are great and with the wand extension, I can reach spots up high and under furniture without killing my back from having to bend over or hold a heavy cannister in my hand.
-The hose is really long, which has taken some getting used to with my small stature. I do have to wrap the hose across/around my body to make sure I don't knock anything over.
-A bit more maintenance is required to keep this functioning properly, especially on the filter. This is mostly manageable but if I have multiple houses to clean in a day or a home that has a lot of dust and debris, I have to clean it in between rooms or homes. I bring a canned air with me to keep up with it. Regardless, I save so much time vacuuming now that this is a very minor inconvenience for me, and I will probably invest in a few spare filters to carry around for a quick swap.
-Very powerful and I have had zero issues picking up pet hair and other debris that previous vacuums were missing.
Overall, I'm happy with this purchase at this point and I hope that it can be the workhorse I need for my business.
