Cordless vacuums have come a LONG way.  Remember the “Dustbuster”?  This leaves that in the dirt (no pun intended).  This vacuum is everything it is advertised to be.  Easy to assemble and even easier to use.  My wife did not think she wanted it but I reminded her how much we like our front loading Electrolux washer and dryer and I took my life in my hands and ordered it anyway and today I am a hero.  We both love it!  That’s right……..I said both!  We highly recommend this vacuum.
