The vacuum has excellent suction and filtration. It seems to be fully sealed, coming from someone with sensitive skin who cannot tolerate leaky bagless vacuums. However you will hate this vacuum because of its poor design.
The attachments are poorly designed, especially the dusting brush which is hard-to-use because of its 3D design. Many other vacuums use a 2D design which is natural and intuitive. The attachments are also too small and/or short.
The hose cannot rotate 360°, making you use extra effort to untwist the hose. The rotation of the hose can get stuck at both the connection to the canister and the connection to the wand.
You do not really notice the XL size, except for the hose. The hose is too long for something non-retractable, and gets in the way. A hose on a canister vacuum should feel personal. The canister is harder to control, the hose can be tripped over, the power button is too far away if you get a model without an electric powerhead.
The attachments are not accessible from the top and are harder to access with the wand mounted to the clip blocking the back of the vacuum.
It probably would not be difficult to find a vacuum with better -- intuitive, clever, obvious design.
