This has been a great vacuum its been daily used at least once sometimes twice. The middle is heavy it's akward at first but you do tend to get use to it. I really like how its easy to transition to a lift off I use this for my stairs multiple times a week and its suction is just as powerful as it is all put together. The wand does great at reaching the high places or the cracks and crevices. I have many pets so something to get the dog hair is very important this does great! My favorite is thats its cordless!
