    This thing is incredible. After struggling with the big vac and it's cord that is always in the way, this vac is awesome. With cats and dogs in the house it seems like we're always cleaning something and having a handy powerful vac always ready to go is so nice. The automatic bin empty feature is also super handy, we love it.

    I'm loving this vacuum! We just got new hardwood floors and at first I bought the shark detect but then I returned it and got this one instead because this one has more sucking power and better for pets. I love that it changes speed while you're vacuuming in the instance that you have more debris on the floor. The only thing I don't like is the button to change. The functions is right on the underside of the handle and sometimes I accidentally push it. If you are looking for a stick vac then I think you will be happy with this one.

    We have always had Dysons, so I was skeptical about changing brands. I have been pleasantly surprised in how the vacuum performs and love the automatic cleaning of the waste bin. It is larger (the storage station) than the wall mounted types, but the functionality outweighs that.

    The calcium works well. I especially like how you don’t have to open to clean it out. Just set it on the charger and slide the lever. It sucks all the dirt out.

    Bought for our new home with 2 dogs, a cat and a toddler running around. Cordless was definitely the way to go. The charging/empty station is really convenient. Depending how big your home is, you may need a 2nd battery for longer vacuum sessions to finish your home.
