Super easy to use and set up. The vacuum is self-propelled, so it minimizes the work required by you. I am able to complete my bathrooms/living room/foyer/dining room/kitchen all at once. It self-charges and self-cleans on its base. Would absolutely recommend to a friend. To note, we also have a 100 lb. golden retriever that sheds a dog every other day and it didn't seem to stop this wet/dry vac. I have also a very messy two-year-old toddler and this made clean up after meals incredible easy!
