This is such a simple yet awesome little machine!  Putting the vacuum together was very simple, not but 3-4 minutes and I did not even read the instructions.  Easy.
I used it first on a thick wool rug in my living room.  I was immediately impressed with the suction.   It performed just as great on my hardwood floors, picking up even the dry leaves that have made their way inside my house this fall.
Being new to owning a stick like this I was most impressed with maneuvering it around dining room chairs!
I used the wand attachment and cleaned the cracks between the cushions of my sofa too.  No more popcorn :) 
I am wishing I would have purchased the model that had the mop too!
