Strengths: None!

Weaknesses: The vacuum does not do a good job at removing dirt from carpets. The belt has to be replaced constantly. Took it to a vacuum repair shop to see if there was anyway to stop this from happening & he said there was not. Just a problem that Dirt Devil vacuums continue to have.

What You Wanted to Know Before You Bought It: That it was not worth the money!

What Would You Tell the Maker of This Tool: Start over! Quit making vacuums with belts, there are much better drive systems now.
