Pro: - Intuitive design. Isn't overly technical - Washable filter is a HUGE plus - Wand design let's you clean high and low with ease - The suction power is INSANE. It got dirt out of my carpet I didn't even know existed. - Extra long cord. I don't have to plug and unplug in every room. The cord is also long enough I can do all my stairs at once. Con: - It's heavy. This definitely isn't a "lightweight" vacuum if that's what you're looking for. Overall this vacuum is FANTASTIC! I would recommend to anyone!
