I really didn't want to put this review up, but I'm really not happy with my purchase. I firstly went to a Godfrey's shop in my area, and found a vacuum which I thought would suit my needs, (and price range) they had a display model but none in a box for me to purchase. So they phoned another store (the Cannington one) for me and found that they had one, so I drove there to buy it. Maybe I should have asked more about it, maybe I should have asked to drive it, but I really would have thought that someone should have told me "this will be way too heavy for you to use". I would have bought something else, I was there to buy a vacuum, I didn't care which one! The machine I have bought I have used once, I vacuumed one room, and had to sit down and rest - now my husband does all the vacuuming! I am in the midst of building a new house and will buy a new one vacuum for this, and sorry but I won't be going back to Godfrey's :(

Approximate cost: $200.00
