for a senior not a great product. heavy to hold when using the canister and the upright is very heavy. Removing the tank to clean it hard to remove. I would never buy this item again for apartment where you cant get to the corners unless you remove the canister and hold it to where you want to reach. My son purchase this for me for Chanukah . I like a canister where it easy to move around light weight get under everything. I had to find an old stem to attach to this tank to reach spot I need to get to. The tank hose is to short. For a senior I don't recommend this vac.
