I love this vacuum!  It is lightweight and easy to handle yet so powerful.  Its compact which makes it easy to do the stairs and its extension allows me to get the ceiling and tops of windows easily.  I first tried this out on a previously vacuumed floor and was blown away by the hidden dirt that this picked up from my carpet!  Definitely will make a difference with our allergies!  The charging station can either hang or sit on the floor.  It doesn't tip over and it is so easy to remove from the base.  It also houses an extra battery though I've cleaned my entire house on one fully charged battery.  So simple to use yet amazing technology!  I love the color as well.  It's like a shiny new car!
