Was a little nervous going from an upright to a canister but I am in love!  Feels like an upright but is very light and the canister tracks behind you well.  Love the 3 speeds, carpet or hardwood settings, rotating head at any speed and quiet sound.  Love that you can turn it on on the canister and then run it with the handle from then on as there is a power button with all the other settings at your fingertips.   Sweeper part even stands on its own....takes up very little space in the closet when you stand up the canister.  Great suction and easy empty....attachments are on the sweeper....no looking for them.  I really don't have any cons!
