Sucks harder than a tornado in the south. Seriously, really good!
Seriously, this thing is epic.
Still mostly plastic on the exteripr, but, unlike cheaper vacuums, this has a but of quality and detail to it. The quality of plastics is higher, the quality of molds and designing are better too.
This thing is no louder than any other vacuum I have ever owned, with the brush ruler off. But, turn that on (it can be disengaged on the fly with a foot pedal fit quick switching between carpet and hardwood floors - nice), and it is rather loud. You definitely know those brushes are spinning.
I am fine with that, but some may be snowflakes about noise (or have sleeping babies - I understand not wanting THIS vacuum if you have a baby and relish a little nap time).
If you aren't whisper-thirsty... THIS Vacuum will suck the ghosts out of a haunted carpet. I literally only have two rooms with carpet and a hallway, yet this sucker nearly filled its canister on the FIRST use!
Seriously, I pulled up enough dirt, dust, sand dander, and dog fur that I ended up with about two pounds of filth to dump once I was done (and I only vacuumed the master bedroom and hall!!!).
If you can get this vacuum for....... under $150, grab it! Easy to assemble, easy to use, very sturdy, very VERY well made for the price I bought mine at, and DOES A DAMN GOOD JOB.
Did I mention it works on bare floors too?
