I fell in love with this vacuum system the minute I got it out of the box. It's very easy to use and I don't have to empty the contents of the waste container! It's self-cleaning! The vacuum is quick to set up. There's a bin that plugs into the wall and charges the Wandvac when not in use. After vacuuming, you simply attach the wand in front of the waste bin and the self-cleaning begins. Another nice feature is that the wand comes apart so it becomes a hand-held vacuum cleaner.
