After being very disappointed with a famous brand, which was also pretty expensive, I needed another new vacuum. Probably because I'm from Europe I hate those upright vacuums, so I googled a canister and came on the Prolux website. It looked good, the price was right so I ordered this vacuum. What a huge difference, it really picks up everything, no matter what . It's so powerful and what I also think is very important, I can reach the corners and little spots, while before I always used a handheld vacuum to go after it. I'm very happy with my vacuum cleaner, hope I can still say the same after using it for many years.
