This vacuum was really easy to assemble. It took about two hours to fully charge. I was able to vacuum five rooms before I needed to recharge the battery again. It was so easy to empty the dust catcher. I just held it over the garbage can and pressed the release button and all the dirt and crumbs dropped into the garbage can. This has become my go to vacuum because it is so handy and light weight. I haven't tried it yet but if I wanted I could had fragrance to the little filters and it would freshen the air while I'm vacuuming. This is a very nice, high quality machine that works really great. I love that I was able to attach it to the wall so it is handy at all times. The wall mount even holds the attachments. I would definitely recommend this vacuum to anyone that wants a high quality machine.
