Vacuum is solid and works well. Several design features are counter intuitive. The top filter always drops dust when opening to clean, and a better design would be to have the wand pre attached. Going from a shark to this, it's been the biggest annoyance for me. The attachments fall off the machine easily so I'm always wondering where they've gone, and end up cleaning on my knees. The suction is amazing, pulling loads of pet hair our old vacuum missed.
