The greatest investment in vacuums I ever purchased. This vacuum had me stunned. I had the idea I was getting a good vacuum, but when it arrived and I put it to use, it became a great vacuum. It is light, powerful and so easy to clean. Doesn't take up much room at all when it comes to storing. Only con, is that it doesn't stand upright on it's own. So be careful where you stand it because I never want mine to hit the floor. I am in love with this vacuum.
