This is the WORST vacuum cleaner ever! First, it was about 1000 - more work than it's worth! But I could live with that - but the battery lasted less than 10 minutes (yes, from a FULL charge!) even at medium suction power! When I switched to high it was empty in less than 5 minutes! It's crazy! Then the main brush head consists entirely of a cloth roller - a practical test - even the smallest drops of liquid on the floor roll and then roll over every dirt and you get DIRT! It's terrible! Yes, I know you can't transfuse liquid with this, but that's just not realistic, especially if you have pets or children! The stand was very bulky and poorly balanced and the first time I picked it up I almost dropped it because it was so uncomfortable! The suction power was average at best! And finally, to empty the bin (unless you spend another $125 on a "cleaning station"), you have to touch the filter and turn it upside down, and all the dust/dirt gets airborne and get on your hands! *Honestly I have a Dyson v11 and it's hard to fall in love with anything else when you have a Dyson! But I thought I'd give it a chance - alas!
