I agree with the other reviewer. I foolishly fell for all the good reviews. The vacuum is nice, but I ran over something and it's making some noise. I called customer service, could barely understand what they were saying because of language, and was told to check for clogs. There is no clog that I can see. I contacted a local vacuum shop, and the girl that worked there said that they don't work on Tineco items, that they're basically disposable. I said that they were rated #1 on Consumer reports, and she said that that didn't mean a thing. I'm starting to believe her. I send emails to Tineco and they never answer. I'm returning this and going back to Shark.
