I am SOOOO excited to have received this vacuum for free from Influenster! Packaging of the product was great as everything was secured very well in the box. Unloading and putting this vacuum together was an absolute piece of cake. Once I turned this vacuum on literally my whole mood changed! I am freaking ecstatic about this vacuum. It cleans so well. Then suction is great and so powerful. It came with so many handy little attachments as well. It's surprisingly not that loud either. I love that it "detects" the dirt on the floor and moves automatically towards. Cleaning and maintaining this product is so each as well with the given compartments. This is definitely hands down my absolute favorite vacuum. Way to go Shark for putting out wonderful products consistently!!
