I have always seen these Vacuums at the store or at someone's house but never thought I would get one.  I am pleased we did as it is truly is a nice luxury to have.  We set it off when we leave the house and come home to it charging back up.  We have two kids and a dog, plus people coming over all the time so the floors can get pretty dirty in between cleanings.  Setup was very easy, and we have the docking station in our laundry room which isn't quite in the middle of the house as suggested but the Shark Ion finds its way home.
