S.H.
I have a Kemore. I have 2. One is 'old'.... like more than 15 years old and works fine still. The other one is maybe 10 or less years old. BOTH still work real well. I have 2, because we have upstairs and downstairs, so 1 for each floor.
Love it.
Never a problem.
It goes on carpet or wood floors/hard floors, which we have.
AND it goes under tables/beds/under anything, easily.
I personally love canister vac's.... versus upright vacuums.
Just go to Sear's. That's where I got mine.
