I have to start this review off by talking about how wonderfully this vacuum is packaged. They used all paper and cardboard, no plastic packaging. I really love that. So much easier to dispose of and better for the environment. 
The vacuum itself is great. I’ve never used a canister vacuum before but I quickly fell in love it with. It’s super easy to maneuver. I also love the button you push that retracts the power cord back into the unit. The stick handle has all the buttons you need to control the vacuum which makes it super easy to switch from carpet to hard floors. It’s also very clean way to empty the dirt canister.
