The good bits: The Lupe has the best suction I have ever had from a vacuum cleaner, even on the lowest power. Its power is far superior to Dyson and I can vacuum my entire house using the lowest setting. The bad bits: There seem to be a few design flaws. The hose is too short and you end up pulling the vacuum over. The dust bin is a nightmare to empty. All the dust gets stuck around the filter. Its a real problem to get out. The help desk told me to get it out with my fingers or a brush which is disgusting. I am asthmatic so this is less than ideal. The additional tools are very basic, I would expect more from a vacuum at this price level. I decided to keep the Lupe simply because I couldn't be bothered to return it and the suction is far superior to any other machine I have used. However let's see if it continues to perform six months down the line.
