Going on a month with it, and its a powerful vacuum. I was expecting it to be a lot bigger when we initially got it, so given how much power it has some power to it. The auto empty base, alone, makes it worth it, love not having to deconstruct the entire vacuum just to have the cannister be directly over the can like I did with my previous battery powered Skark vacuum. I can't complain really. If I had to give it any negative, it would be the size as I, again, expected it to be bigger, but glad it's not.
