Pros: Vacuums carpets well. Haven't used extensively on bare floors, but appears to do an equally good job there.

Cons: Vacuumed carpet residue is reduced to a fine almost powdery substance which adheres to everything it touches. Be careful when emptying. Residue clings to unit inside. Two onboard tools particularly crevice tool is inferior to ones on my old Bissell.

Overall Review: Due to the high maintenance (emptying catch tube each use, weekly damp cloth cleaning after disassembling, monthly fiter(2) cleanings) I would not buy this machine again and would not consider buying another bagless machine.
