I grew up with them and consequently there are many among the family. I really love mine, and the combination dusting brush and contourable upholstery tool and the combination rug and floor tool are among my all time favorite vacuum attachments. Both 2 in one tools which makes for easier use.  The automatic control system on your machine is wonderful too. It senses a full bag and pops the door open, shuts the machine off, and the check bag light comes on when it’s time to change tha bag and the sensitivity of this feature can be adjusted for optimal use.While you may not like that the power nozzle doesn’t have a light…it is self adjusting for height. I can tell you have an L shaped model and it likely says Omni-flo Automatic on it. This is because the suction flows from all areas of the opening so edge cleaning can occur and also the automatic is for the automatic height adjustment. If you press down hard enough on the power nozzle you will realize the back wheels are spring loaded. On a forward strike on deep carpet the wheels would adjust in some as needed and automatically spring back out at the end of the stroke during the pull back and then ago adjust for the next forward stroke. This also makes pushing the power nozzle easy on most all carpet. These are regarded as some of the beat vacuums out there and you might want to get some bags and give you haouse a cleaning with it and see if you like if. I have run into a few people in my life that haven’t cared for it but it’s about maybe 5 percent of all people who have had one…while most others say they loved theirs and kind of wish they had it again because for some reason or another moved on to something else.  As I mentioned I grew up with the Electrolux canisters and then once out on my own I had a hand me down Hoover convertible from my parents neighbors and it was ok but heavy and finally crapped out as the roller brush bearing crapped out. Being too expensive to replace the bearings…at my last vacuum shop I visited the guy said no one will have just the bearings and he had a nice Silverado deluxe Electrolux there used for sale. I traded the Hoover in to him for it. It was 10 years old at the time and that was 1994 and the motor finally has gone bad just last year. I have other Electrolux canisters so using another. I just find them to be the easiest to use and most logically designed vacuums out there and I’ve experienced a lot of other canisters over my collecting time only to continue to return to the Electrolux as the best. I now have back issues and using anything hard to push is out of the question. So again, the Electrolux canister continues to be my favorite as I can use it with ease and no pain. Yea the woven hoses are stiffer than the vinyl ones a definite improvement. What do you use that you seem to like better? Though it seems you haven’t give that Grand Marquise a chance. Gets some bags…give it a try…I think you might like it!Jon</blockquote>
