I was so excited to receive this vacuum! I have a love hate relationship with the vacuuming until now! I use to love clean vacuumed floors but I hated and dreaded  the whole pulling out the vacuum, fighting with the cord, to each room, but Now we have a love love relationship! As I am walking out the door I turn it on and when I came home from work the floors where vacuumed! With pets you have to vacuum one time a day at least . It was a a horrible chore… but no more !!  :)
