I got one of the first models around 3 years ago. It was my first bagless. I've really worn down the brushes, but it does a really good job and isn't too loud ether. The HEPA filter get really dirty really quickly and when it get dirty it smells really bad. Plus you have to wash the two other filters almost every two weeks or it losses suction. But thats bagless you know!
I think it's a good vacuum overall, but I like Hoover's Twin Chamber cup cup better.
