Got this Vacuum as before I had a cordless one and although they are handy, unless you are willing to pay the big bucks they are not very good at sucking.
This vacuum however sucks very well! We have a cat and struggle with lots of cat hair which this vacuum got off our carpet no problem.
I thought that the body of the vacuum would annoy be being on the floor and I would have to drag it everywhere, but it is a lot lighter then I thought and was no trouble at all, the pole on the head of the vacuum is quite long so it reached most places anyway without me having to drag the vacuum.
The different settings on the Vacuum I was pleased with, this means that instead of having to change heads every time I wanted to vacuum something different e.g the couch all I have to do is change the setting on the vacuum to couch and off I go. There are a few settings, one for curtains, couch's, hard floors, carpets, there is a Eco setting which is also to make the vacuum sound more quiet, which is handy if you have sleeping kids, or in my case cats!
The one problem for me personally with this vacuum is storage. The body of the vacuum does stand up right so it is not too bad, but I myself have not got many places for storage, most people keep their vacuum's under the stairs, I unfortunately do not have this place for storage, so I have struggled finding a place for the vacuum which is out of the way, as I am used to Vacuums that you can store on the wall.
I also found i difficult when trying to Vacuum the stairs, as the vacuum itself is quite chunky, you would have to try and hold the vacuum in one hand whilst trying to hoover with other, also being concious of the cable.
Apart from the storage issue which depends really on the type of house you have I would recommend this Vaccum as it is very powerful, but for the price I would maybe also think about saving a bit more and getting maybe a more portable vacuum with the same power.
