My only regret is that I didn't buy it with vacuum cleaner right away. Even with a weekly cleaning of a 2,000 square foot house that is about 70% tile, the vacuum still picks up 2-3 trash cans for every full home vacuum. If you don't have this base you won't be able to vacuum while you're away because once it's full it will wait for you to return to empty the container. This lets him do the work once you return. It's okay, but it's much nicer when the vacuum cleaner does all the work without human intervention.
