Favorite for work & home use!

I take care of the housekeeping needs of several locations, so I have bought 3 of these in the last 6 months (and use them myself). After I bought our first of these vacuums, everyone else wanted it at their location, too! Super easy to put together, works on multiple surfaces, brush roll doesn't tangle with hair (huge problem with previous vacuum) and has had not lost it's strength in cleaning. Has worked great in an office and home setting.
Please Please last a long time! I FINALLY got a vac that has great suction... I tried t for the first time this week after having vacuumed with my old machine - and it picked up SO MUCH EXTRA that the old machine was missing. Very happy! I hope it lasts...
It has been the best vaccum I have ever used. Works on all floors, picks up dirt you can't see. And emptying is so easy. I wouldn't use any other brand of vacuum again.

Cord

Cord length great, but I miss the flexible cords on the old cords. Cleaning much faster than the old shark. So far- I like it
I bought this after I cracked my other vacuums dust collector. This vacuum is such a game changer. Yes it is heavy, but the suction is incredible, it’s easy to use, and it leaves every room looking like new. I can easily detach the wand and get all the difficult to reach spaces. I have used it on carpet, rugs, vinyl, and tile. I have also vacuumed the couch! Such a great purchase!
The suction power is great, but it's too bulky and the cord length is too short. It's too heavy for my hands, making it hard to reach under the bed and other tight spots.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
