Bought after watching Vaccuum Wars review and have not been disappointed. I was amazed how much dirt came out of my carpets with the Lupe right after I finished vaccuuming with my old Vaccuum. My old Vaccuum was a higher end hoover corded upright. I really love the overall design and ease of use. I'd never have paid $700 for a Vaccuum in my life if it wasn't for the fact it's designed to be repaired and used long-term. Lastly, Shipping was the fastest I've ever seen from the UK to USA... Only a few days! Thank you so much to all the folks over @ Lupe. I hope more companies start designing truly good products designed to last.
