I bought this vacuum after reading many reviews. I have trouble with my back using a "normal" vacuum. It is the twisting action and bending that causes pain. So the solution was to stop doing that. I even bought the lightweight vacuum that worked very well but still I had to stop vacuuming half way thorough and come back after my back stopped aching. I had one of the original first versions of a robot vacuum over 20 years ago and was not impressed with it. This one I am very impressed with it. We have four dogs and live in a semi rural area with lots of dust. We have a dirt/gravel drive as well. And the dogs bring in lots of dirt. It does get a TON of hair from the dogs, and so I run it every day at 7 am, and the house has not looked this good in many years of my reluctant vacuuming every few weeks or so, because of pain. I am 75 years old, so this was very much a good idea for me. Bending over and picking it up to dislodge some twigs, or wood chips from our fireplace is no big deal. And keeping large "stuff" off the floor so the vacuum doesn't get jammed is no big deal. I have one of those "grabbers" to pick up anything that would jam the vacuum. Cleaning and replacing filters is nothing compared to the work I had to do to vacuum the house. I have been using the "heck" out of this vacuum and it just keep going, so far. 6 months in and no complaints. I do have an air compressor and, do blow out the filters and wash the cylinder foam filter in the "home canister" and the filter underneath. I just keep a spare and rotate them and clean them in soap and water, taking 3 minutes. I am thinking of naming the thing as it acts like it is a being. Searching for dirt. Maybe "Jeeves" as the butler name in some movie. I will go under chairs, under tables under beds, and nothing seems to stop it unless it is too low for it to go under. I am thinking of getting rid of our couch and replace it with something with legs so the Shark can get under that also. The instructions say to leave 3 feet around the Home Base, but I can't do that in my house. It has a narrow channel, maybe 18 inches wide, and always seems to find it way back "home".
