These were good for what they were. They actually cleaned really well and were built pretty alright. The biggest draw backs are the fact that it has no tools and that it never filtered very well. But giving the original $35 price point they were solid, they were better in almost every way when compared to the competition like the Bissell EasyVac and Eureka Optima, and are certainly better than what is thrown out today.
Curious, is this one made out of parts? because on the 2006 models the metal part of the handle should be silver and the brushroll should be a little different
