So easy to use! From the moment we took it out of the box we fight over who gets to use this awesome machine. I dare you to find another vacuum cleaner that will have your family scrambling to have their turn taking it "for a drive!" It's light, & flows with P O W E R , not only in the propulsion, but also when it comes to the powerful suction generated by this engine, and it's so cool that you can watch what you clean, off the floors, both carpet and hard. That's not all the reach for this unit with its power wand/handle it takes our cats hair off the furniture slick as can be, then that cast off further does the spin-down boogie in the easily removed and dumped, bag less, catch system. We are still learning what all we can do to put this vacuum thru its paces! It's really a blast, a very clean blast!
