Ours is svelte. If a vacuum can be described that way, lol. With a hole in the center, maybe to make it lighter.
All I know is it’s better than the Hoover weight wise and has lasted a long time (so far).
How’s Roy?
Sounds like they’ve had a major re-design, since our old one.
We have a Dyson, now, after trying/having three other ‘voted best vacuum!!’ brands....and, it’s just okay. I love that it’s cordless, but that is about where any affection stops.
