I love this vertex ultra light. delivers on suction, and my long hair does not wrap around those fins. the 30-foot cord is great. in the directions it tells you how to take the canister off and to hang it by the hook on the lower front of the stick. This allows the vacuum to stand upright on its own, while making it a foot and a half shorter so easier to store in tight spaces. I owned a different shark but my hair wrapped up in it so frequently It was more of a nuisance to clean it. No wrapping at all with this one I love this vacuum! also pleasantly surprised But it's not a noisy high pitched vacuum for all the suction power that it definitely has.
