After having used this vacuum for another month I like it even more than I did before. I find that I can use the wand for baseboards and places that I can't get to with the brush section attached. I also realize after time how very maneuverable the Emerge is under furniture. Also the dual brushes work better than any other vacuum I have had on bare floors. Every bit of dust is caught in the smooth roller that is not difficult to clean. I still find it time consuming and a little messy to clean the dustbin, but am getting used to having to put up with that since it does do such a fine job of cleaning the floors.
