I really like this vacuum but take off 1 star because -lrb- a -rrb- technologically , it be not really anything new and -lrb- b -rrb- even as easy as it be , I hate have to worry about multiple filter . this vacuum perform very well . although slightly bulky , it maneuver easily around tight space . even when full of rabbit hair , it still suck up more dirt and do not seem to lose suction . cleanup take less than 5 minute , 10 max if you be a neat freak . I recommend rinse the sponge-like ring filter after every use and leave it around to dry around the handle . that way you do not have to leave it out and wait for it to dry . just put the vacuum away and the next time you need to vacuum , put the filter back on and lock the canister in place . take only a minute . if I have to say anything bad it would be about the tube you put you attachment on . it be short and do not stretch very far . the vacuum topple over a few time when I use it . not a big deal if you use 1 hand to hold part of the tube -lrb- near vacuum -rrb- and another -lrb- on the attachment end handle -rrb- to stretch it out and clean . it take a little bit get use to . all in all , I be happy with my decision . this be replace my old canister vacuum which I love but crap out on I after year and year of use . I be not a big fan of bag-less vacuum but this one may make I one .
