I like that I can sit on the couch and watch TV with a small remote control to make this vacuum cleaner clean for me. What a wonderful time we live in, right? I've had a similar vacuum before, but this one is much better. This one soaks up all the chaos the first time. Others have to cycle through the chaos multiple times before it even appears. It has great breath. It can even stand back on the charging port when it's done. I never catch myself wanting to use it, but it's powerless. It's always fully charged and ready to go. It's almost inaudible. You can definitely hear it, it's by no means silence, but relatively quiet for advice like this. I don't even have to turn up the volume on the TV when he enters the room. Would I buy this brand again? Definitive
