So far I really enjoy this for maintenence cleaning. It does have a few minor issues, but I'll start with the positive...my cat isn't scared of it. He runs to a different room because of the sound of the regular Shark rocket I have. Now, the negative... It sometimes skips entire areas if someone gets in the way while it's cleaning. Also, It doesn't always get everything, but it does a better job than a teenager with a traditional vacuum!
