My primary concern is, "does it clean the rugs without breaking down?" I believe it will, thouroughly. We are parking an Oreck XL, which works well, but it is a very light, flimsy vacuum. The handle, wheels, motor, cord, and lights have been replaced at one time or another, but what really bothers me is the fact that it often plugs up the tube from the motor to the bag. Screwdriver time!!! You cannot judge the amount or see the dirt it picks up either, which causes it to plug. I have alergies, so cleaning that plugged dirt tube usually takes its toll on me. I guess I could wear a dust mask, but I don't. It smells too. I just purchased the “ball” type Dyson vac as a result of the positive reviews, including yours.
