WE were never really canister people. However, this cleaner is a superb machine, all variations. The tools were STILL exceptional, as well as the hose (gotta love Tufflex). They are like a flattened Constellation. And, to have a power nozzle with a "Beats as it Sweeps as it Cleans" beater bar makes it a great quality vac. That large bag is great, too. I have several models of this type, not every single one. Maybe one day.
