Yours looks like a different design. That or we and a couple others got a lemon. There IS however a good vacuum sold at stores wuch as Wal-Mart, Kmart, etc. and that is the Dirt Devil Ultra Swivel Glide. They don't make them anymore and I haven't seen them in stores for about 5 years at least. We've had ours for about 8-10 years now. It was survived my dad's temper, being dragged outside for use on cars, it has survived my bother, the thing won't die! My dad's is purple and came with a black Turbo Tool. My mom's was tan and it bit the dust a few years ago, but it was older I think. That one had a weird triangle-shaped attatchment that fit into the lid on the front.
