As promised, this Eureka AirSpeed ONE Bagless Upright Vacuum AS2013A was fairly easy to assemble. It did a great job of vacuuming bare-wood floors and my area rugs and is not heavy. However the minuses on this unit outweigh the pluses and that's why I could only give it four stars. The foot control pedal for turning the power on and off is handy and the bagless canister is easy to remove and empty. It really does an excellent job of vacuuming cat hair off my area rugs and on my wood and ceramic tile floors. The noise level of this vacuum is unpleasant and dealing with a power cord that has to be wound around sprockets annoying. The control for adjusting the unit for different types of flooring, low pile, high pile carpets and bare floors are inconveniently located on the base of the unit necessitating a lot of bending when going from room to room with different floor coverings. Let's face it, very few people will state that they love vacuuming, but it is a necessity. Again, I suspect because the unit is so powerful, perhaps there is no way to make it operate at a lower decibel level. If the noise doesn't bother you, perhaps this unit will be what you are seeking. It really does provide incredible suction. The cord is quite long allowing one to complete an entire room or two without replugging the unit into another outlet.
