This vacuum is AMAZING!!! It was super easy to put together straight from the box. It not only works really well, it looks really nice and sleek. It's not too heavy if you need to pick it up instead of using the wheels. I love how it has bright lights on the front and on the attachment. I purposely vacuumed my hardwood floor with the room lights off to see how well the vacuum lights work- it's amazing to see how much yuck the vacuum can suck up!! It is a little on my loud side, but worth it since it works so well!!
