I am beyond happy with the performance of this vacuum it was easy to put together and has attachments to help get into hard to reach areas and also attachments to get pet hair off of the furniture! I love how well this vacuum sucks everything up the first time across the surface.... it has lights which are great in dim lit areas of your home so you can see all the dirt on the carpet more clearly. I am overall very satisfied and would highly recommend this vacuum, I had always heard good things about shark vacuums but I had never tried one until now and I can say they live up to all the hype.
