Works great but broke quickly

I loved that this doesn't have any kind of stand or station; it's much more discreet this way and I liked just plugging it in and unplugging it. I also liked that the filter is reusable. I didn't like that you either had to set part of it down (the motor part or the filter) or grow a third hand in order to empty the canister. Sound was tolerable until about 6 months when something it sucked up got past the super flimsy/cheap filter right in front of the motor housing (or something broke off inside?) and now it makes a grinding sound when starting or stopping it. Was very happy prior to that.
