This is the vacuum of my dreams. I bout it to take care of my new hard floors and it does an amazing job. You will be obsessed with the laser light. At the same time it will drive you crazy. It’s such an awesome feature to help clean your floors. It’s easy to handle. I purchased the stand and really glad I did. The ONLY reason I did t give this 5 stars is because I’m new to stixk and cordless vacuums. I know it lol won’t stand up on its own and I leaned it up against my counter. Of course the first day it fell, hit the garbage can and scraped paint off the stick. I wouldn’t have thought it was that fragile. It makes me sad but I love this vacuum!
