I am loving this stick vac. I really like that it has a stand and everything can be organized so neatly. As we get older, it is hard to hold the switch on a vac to keep it running and this one has an on and off button. I like that that it allows for the shortening of the 'hose' because that makes stairs easier to clean. The floor head doesn't have brushes so I expect I won't constantly have to cut hair off of it like my previous stick vac. The dust bin opens easily and empties well without a lot of dust escaping. It is a little pricey but so far I feel it is worth it.
