This vacuum is an easy out of the box build. It is really great because it has 2 beater bar speeds; so it worked great on our hard wood floor and our high pile carpet. Two things that were not so great. 1. No wall mount for the vacuum and it doesn’t stand upright on its own so we have it on its side for storage. 2. The hand held portion gets heavy and when you tilt it left to right for vacuuming it’s a bit difficult on your wrist.
