Got it last Friday and used it this weekend (after getting back from my humanitarian duty of slowing the spread of avian flu (read "Killing Ducks")).
The vac is quieter than my wife's hair dryer. It will lift 16 penny nails off the floor though they stick in the hose (DAMHIK). The hose is nice and flexible. The attachment set is complete. You can pull it around by the hose and it doesn't tip over. It was engineered by Germans - no more need be said. I like it.
BTW, I got it via Walter Tool Company

were about $50 cheaper than anyone else I could find. What was really interesting was I ordered at 1520 hours last Tuesday, got a UPS shipping notification at 1610, same day, and it arrived here in Texas on Friday. That is quick service!Regards.
