Unwieldy. The wheels are too small, are blocked when they roll on the cable. Inadequate cable length. Vacuum cleaner (too) powerful: it sticks to the ground. The system to reduce the suction is misplaced because being at the handle, the hand holding the vacuum cleaner often awry. I bought it as very quiet. Actually disappointed again because it is quieter than in the footsteps of parquet tiles where it is very noisy. Also disappointed with materials that look very fragile. Besides the start button is already beginning (at 4 months wood) to fail: you sometimes press repeatedly to boot. In short I regret my former Tornado made me more than 20 years!
