Excellent vacuum! It has REALLY powerful suction, it's easy to operate and very maneuverable, and the dirt hopper is very simple to empty. Most striking of all, it's the sort of vacuum that you don't think about after using it - only its results. My carpets are wonderfully soft and floors clean and smooth after vacuuming, and all I think about is just how nice they are to walk on. Not the vacuum. I believe an appliance like this should perform its function so seamlessly that the results are more noticeable than the device itself. This is precisely the case with this vacuum. It sits in the corner until it is needed, then it does a wonderful job, and I go on living my life with clean floors!
The HEPA exhaust filter is a great touch. You can literally see all of the dirt swirling around in there that would otherwise be blasted out into the air.
