It's been a few months since I started using it, and so far I like it. I don't know if it's a tool or a toy, but I really like being able to get things done around the house or get ready to go out while he vacuums. Due to the fact that I suffer from allergies, it is vitally important to me that 1) the flat has less dust and 2) I would not be exposed to the dry cleaning procedure (so as not to breathe rising dust). It is also far more exciting for me to rearrange the furniture for the vacuum cleaner so that it travels everywhere than it is for me to rush around the apartment by myself, reaching difficult-to-reach places while positioning myself in uncomfortable positions. Even when there is a lot of work to do and I am not at all up to cleaning, the flat does not build dust in the corners, which is another thing that I really like.
