This is an excellent machine. I love the LED headlight. I can see dirt I normally couldn't see on my bare floors. The machine is a nice color, has a long cord, it's very light with several attachments, and you can also use it as a handheld vacuum. It picks up pet hair very well. It works well on the carpet and area rugs. This machine is awesome! What more could you ask for? The machine must be propped up against the wall to stand. This is very minor for me because the vacuum operates so well. I look forward to using it everyday!
