These are some of my best stickvacs. Abnormal power for such mini machines. Even the Bissell. I have never heard a Bissell that when you shut it off it sounds like a Kirby or Euro Pro. And I have yet to see a Bissell that I like besides this one. The Hoover is great too. Especially since I found the little hose it was supposed to come with. But the Superbroom is my most powerful stickvac. It’s also my only vacuum with true variable speed control. I am comparing these vacs to my Regina, eureka lite, and Featherweight/ 3 In 1. Though my Handi Vac has excellent power too. But it is also the only stickvac sturdily built and constructed with metal.
