cheap, cumbersome

I regret buying this vacuum. You get what you pay for. This is made of cheap plastic, the extendable hose can hardly be called an extendable hose -- it is about 3 feet long and has no "extension" to it. The attachments don't have a place to ride on the back of the machine and are extremely awkward to use -- with a very short, stiff hose and long plastic attachments that don't bend, it is very awkward to use the wand. The vacuum does not auto-propel and each time you change surfaces (e.g. if you're vacuuming a hardwood floor with a rug on it), you have to stop and change the height setting. There is no good place to wind the cord, and the hose frequently pulls out its insert slot on the back. The vacuum does not lay flat so you cannot vacuum under furniture The positives I can say about this vacuum are that: 1) it is lightweight 2) it has good suction I should have spent more money in the first place and bought a better vacuum. Instead, I'm going to be wringing my hands waiting until I can replace this one.
