This stratus cordless stick vacuum is  unbelievable. It comes with instructions and they are very easy to read in there are diagrams to follow. I put it together pretty fast. There are attachments that click right on to the stick vacuum.  When the vacuum is on a light shows up on the bottom of the vacuum. As soon as you turn the power button on, which is at the top of the stick vacuum, it kind of moves itself. You just need to guide it. It is not heavy and even comes with a deodorizer to freshen up your carpet.  It comes with a very long cord so you don't need to keep unplugging it and plugging it in the room that you're vacuuming in. I would definitely recommend this vacuum to anyone. It saves time, it has clear containers, separate containers for hair so if you vacuum something up that you weren't supposed to you can actually see it in the container and you are able to retrieve it.
