I really like that it can stand on its own and that the battery is removable. It is a bit heavier than I expected. It's ok for me but my wife is fairly small with less muscles so it is less easy for her to use, especially on the carpet where the suction strenght is too much for her. I am also missing some way to fit the hoover under the couch all the way. I have a 14 cm gap so the hoover doesnt go all the way, and the accessories have a fixed angle so they don't let me vacuum there effectively either. I wish there was a extension with a rotating head to be able to do that.
