I love vacuums and was very excited to try a new one! My 12-year-old son put it together for me in a matter of minutes, which was great. Then, I started vacuuming my tile floors. I immediately realized that the vacuum was extremely heavy, and difficult to maneuver. As, I continued it got easier to manage, but I still struggled to get the vacuum around tight corners. I vacuumed an area rug but was unimpressed with the result. The light on the vacuum is excellent, as is the surface coverage. I also loved the lift off portable vacuum. Overall, the vacuum cleans really well with excellent suction. Unfortunately, I felt it was far too heavy, difficult to maneuver.
