i received my vacuum and loved it from first sight.  it is well made and sturdy and looks great . love the on off feature which i don't get with dyson, it also has bit better suction than my previous vacuum.  the clean station is great as you don't have to go outside to empty after each use.  my only complaint is after you use clean station you have to remember to make sure vacuum is closed before you use as it will function when not completely closed but i don't feel this takes away from the quality of the product.
