A few yrs ago I bought the Guardian Ultra (with Classic style hose, PN, wands & tools) & its a great vac I've ever had; but I put 'makeshift' accessory clips onto the HEPA filter cover so the combo duster/upholstery tool & long crevice tool store onboard the vac & I also bought two aluminum wands for the Classic bare floor brush because the Classic plastic accessory wands aren't really sturdy enough when I use the floor brush & too heavy for vacing cobwebs close to the ceiling & dusting the ceiling fans & central air vents. The plastic wands (usually equipped with the Classic) don't stay attached very good onto each other or onto the crevice tool or combo dusting brush/upholstery tool
I paid $600 for the 'Guardian Ultra Classic' (Guardian Ultra equipped with pistol grip hose & metal wands for PN & floor brush + Sidekick I)
