Seriously... This is the best vacuum out there! The assembly is super easy. I didn't realize how dirty my carpet was before using this vacuum, the sucking power is unmatched. The trap actually holds quite a lot, I have 3 animals so there is a lot of hair in my house and this vacuum powered through it like nothing I've ever used before. I love the retractable push button cord so I don't have to worry about winding it back up. Honestly Shark products have never let me down, and this is the BEST vacuum out there.
