The Filtropur Vacuum is a modern piece of junk. I purchased the vacuum about 4 months ago and had several issues with it. It does not pick up like it suppose to, and it blows dust back out into the air. It cost $1900.00 and is no better than $100.00 vacuum. Getting service for the vaccuum is a hassel, and you will be without a vacuum until yours gets repaired. The company should be made to reimburse everyone that has had issues with their vacuum, and everyone should be able to return it. The vacuum is a total rip-off.
