When I first got this vacuum I was so excited to use it. The out of the box setup was super easy. However, it is very too heavy and doesn’t stand up, you have to lean it on the wall or against something. The concept is good for only light vacuuming. I have a German shepherd and have to vacuum daily. Just to vacuum our livingroom area rug I have to empty the canister 2-3 times. So I was not excited about that. It also gets hot rather quickly. I would only recommend if you need light vacuuming and don’t have super shedders like a shepherd or long haired cats.
