Powerful

For the money, this is a great vacuum. It has plenty of power & really cleans my carpets. The dirt finder feature is useless in my opinion. The red light never seems to go off, even when the area I'm vacuuming has been gone over a multitude of times. So I just ignore it. The bag filled up very quickly, which makes me think my previous vacuum did a terrible job. Hopefully it won't fill up as quickly next time. As I said above, for the money, this vacuum is a winner. I only gave it 4 stars because the plastic parts seem to be less durable than the more expensive competition, but so far so good.
