I liked the way the vacuum looked. It is compact and powerful. It isn't as easy to turn as my 12-year-old Dyson, but it seems to maneuver efficiently. The lights on the vacuum are a nice extra, but they are just a tad too bright only because they seem to hit the folks in the eyes who were sitting in chairs in the room. The cord winder is a little low on the vacuum, but it works. It's also hard to figure out how to release the handle. I love the accessories. They are beneficial to get into hard-to-get spaces. Overall, the vacuum does the job and does it well.
