This vacuum cleaner is easier / more comfortable to push than my predecessor (Black & Decker). I was amazed (as were many of the other reviewers) when I found everything my old vacuum didn't pick up minutes before using this vacuum! I like the built in Febreze air freshener. It's low enough off the ground that it doesn't start sucking up everything that's next to it. I have 2 preschoolers and I have constant messes on my hands. It's not as loud as my other one and it also has a longer cord which I'm so thankful for! I didn't use the attachments but was pleasantly surprised by what he found right after I finished the other one. I officially threw the second one in the trash because I won't be returning this one!
