What an amazing vacuum. I currently own a Kirby and I thought that was powerful. But this blows it out of the water. I vacuumed the living room a day before the day of the Lupe’s arrival. After the easy assembly I vacuumed the living room again and I was shocked by the amount of dust and dirt picked up. I couldn’t believe my eyes. Lupe honestly is the best vacuum I have ever used. This week I took out the filter and was shocked how easy it is to dissemble and reassemble. I love this vacuum and everyone I talk to about it thinks I’m crazy!! But this honestly is the best vacuum I have ever used!
