Sadly not the van for me :( After doing a lot of reading up on the Shark Rocket Vacuums I thought this was the perfect choice for me. Lightweight, easily maneuverable, changes from an upright to a handvac. However, things I didn't think of and the reason I am returning this and getting the Navigator instead: the vacuum doesn't stand up on it's own, so you have to lean it against something, if you're like me when vacuuming I leave the vac "standing" and move stuff around, or fumble with the cord, or anything...it annoyed me that I couldn't just let this go. The other problem, which is a big one for me, as I have medical issues causing weakness in my upper body, it is very top heavy (although light altogether) it only took a few seconds for my upper body to tire from the weight of the canister. Not good for me. Not the right fit. VERY happy that Wayfair will return this item after trying it out no problems! I've already purchased the Navigator Lift-Away and can't wait to get it!
