This vacuum is life changing! First let me start with the incredibly easy setup, it took me about 4 minutes to get everything snapped together. It has two settings hardwood and carpet and glides smoothly over each one. The steering is incredible and I can easily fit into smaller spaces and hard to reach angles with it. Cleaning the basin was as simple as can be and is easily wiped down. Suction is wonderful, it was picking up things I couldn't even see! the detachable wand and attachments are a great tool especially with stairs and cleaning couch cushions. I am able to reach places I never could before. I will say it is heavier than I am used to, but its not too bad.
