I was looking around to purchase a cordless vacuum and was glad that I came by this vacuum at a great deal which has all the features that I am looking for. What stood out the most for this vacuum is the spinning sweeper brush attachment (purchased separately) and clean station. Having only used corded vacuums in the past, having a cordless vacuum (despite being heavier) made all the difference in convenience. It is also aesthetically pleasing to the eye, making it a cleaning tool that need not be hidden and can be placed anywhere in the house.
