Just used today on hardwood floors...works fine so far BUT I find that it doesn't stand alone. Who makes vacuums that don't stand alone? It's so annoying to stop the vacuum rest it on something so I can either pick something up that shouldn't go into a vacuum (coins, metal clips, etc) or move furniture.  To store you have to lean on a wall and then careful it doesn't fall over. I'm seriously thinking of returning just on that alone.
