    Item still under warranty. They lack any real customer support. I have spent over two months of sending pics, trying this and trying that yet they are not able to find a solution to why "high suction" feature doesn't work on my vacuum. They finally gave up and I was told they could not find a solution to the problem. I then asked for a replacement vac and they told me the issue did not qualify for a replacement item under the warranty. Should be laws protecting consumers from companies that guarantee their products and then don't come through with that guarantee when issues arise.
