I received this as a gift, and I absolutely love it. It works so well, picks up more than my old vacuum. I love the fact that it's wireless and I can take it anywhere in the house (or even out to the car) without having to worry about where to plug it into. The only downside is the canister is a little small, I can't vacuum the whole house without emptying it a couple times. But the good definitely outweighs the bad with this vacuum.
