Good suction and handles well. Easy to empty and easy to handle

Terrific suction, compact and light, quiet, reaches odd spots like under book shelves etc., easy to empty dust container. Really happy with this vac, highly recommend it.

Amazing suction, couldn't believe how much dirt this thing picked up AFTER vacuuming with my 12 year old Electrolux Twin Clean which has a higher wattage (1800w versus 1600w for this machine). Whilst the old machine was certainly getting a bit long in the tooth, this machine is a revelation. The Ultraflex is smaller and easier to handle and is a big improvement on the old machine. Downsides are the dust bin is relatively small, so with the performance you'll be emptying it more often, at least initially. Also, the 3 in 1 tool whilst a good idea is not the most sturdy - the 'fingers' of the upholstery tool part of it have a tendency of getting caught on seams etc., and popping off. Easy enough to refit but annoying and will eventually wear out prematurely, replacement tool costs around $30. Overall though it compares favourably with other big name brands for performance yet comes at a great price saving quite a few dollars!
