I've used several different brands and styles of canister vacuums, and this is one of the worst. The suction is fine, but it has a couple design problems that I find very annoying.
The first problem you notice right away is the two attachments sit in a holder on the nozzle, which fall off constantly as you vacuum, so you end up removing them and setting them aside which eventually will lead to them being misplaced and lost. Other canister vacuums usually have the attachments inside the canister unit somewhere, or hidden out of the way.
The second problem is the unit has two power switches, one for the canister and one for the power head, which turn on separately. In every other canister vacuum I've used, one switch on the handle turns on both. So you end up turning on and off two switches on different parts of the vacuum, really inconvenient.
The third problem is there is no easy way to vacuum carpeted stairs. The power head doesn't fit on stairs, same as every other canister unit, but there is no attachment that works well. In the manual they recommend using the upholstery tool and the crevice tool, but the upholstery tool works horribly on carpeted stairs.
I have no experience with other types of vacuums, but it seems to me the best would be an upright bagless vacuum with a removable hose for stairs, drapes, and upholstery. Canister vacuums are bulky, hard to store, and most importantly hard to move around as you vacuum. If you're set on getting a canister vacuum anyway, I would buy one that doesn't have the problems I listed above.
