After much research, Wayfair had the BEST price on this vaccum! I literally received this product on my doorstep less than 24 hours after I purchased it!! I look forward to purchasing from Wayfair again!

As for the Shark lift away, it is by far my favorite vaccum. The amount of dirt and dust collected from my "clean" carpet was amazing! I Purchased mainly for the lift away canister to sweep my stairs and this does a fabulous job! It is a great all in one appliance for carpet, steps and hardwood. It was easy to assemble and is easy to use. I highly recommend this vaccum!

Pros: great suction, works on all surfaces, many attachments, lift-away canister, lite weight and easy to manuver
Cons: the cleaning head is more narrow than my last sweeper but the great suction totally makes up for that!!
