Nice! Left it running in my home office while we went to dinner and came back to nicely vacuumed room. As soon as I opened the door, it headed out into the living room. My dogs are curious but not scared of it like with the upright vacuum and it is not as loud either. I think this unit will be a nice compliment to my upright and cleans under chairs and tables where I can't reach easily with a larger unit. I plan on using it in the bedrooms and home office mostly as I can take it in, turn it, shut the door and walk away. Cool!

Con: It couldn't find the docking base even when placed in it's vicinity but that is a minor issue. Maybe next time! Perhaps there is a "learning curve"
