We just received our vacuum. It was a breeze to assemble. Right out of the box it handled the throw rugs( medium/high pile) and our tiled rooms. Great suction and maneuverability. The attachment tools are a must for getting hair and debris out of hard to reach areas. This vacuum is quiet and the roller brush did not get tangled with hair. Our German Shepherds( Bear and Lena) give it a paws up. It is a sleek and attractive machine and gets the job down.
