PROS: small, lightweight, great suction, really picks up dirt and hair, transitions well between floor types (hard, low pile, deep pile). CONS: no where to store tools on the unit, wand doesn't lock in upright position so won't stand on its own and has to be leaned against something or laid down, canister unit doesn't roll around corners and door frames easily and keeps getting hung up damaging the wall/frame/canister and forcing you to keep going back and freeing it. While the cons may seem to outweigh the pros, I'm keeping it and working around the cons because of the great job it does on the floors, furniture, and pet hair. #sweepstakes
