    Owned this for about 4 weeks now or so. Love it. The auto feature is nice when going over different types of surfaces (wood, rugs, etc.). Really like the auto empty stand. Emptying my old dyson into the trash can always seemed to create a small mess.

    I honestly love this vacuum. It’s easy to use and the feature is a little judgy, in the sense that you will know when an area of your house isn’t clean. However, when you see the indication that it is clean … it’s pure joy :-)

    Love the convenience. Battery goes dead if I go crazy and try to do a large house clean with it. But it is great for touch up’s on the hard floors. Definitely noticed it takes a lot more power to vacuum carpet.

    Extremely powerful vacuum for a cordless. This thing is a game changer. I like the storage apparatus and the emptying feature. It’s a great alternative to more expensive brands and outperforms them as well.
