Very easy to use and very high quality. The self cleaning feature is incredible. I have gone through 3 bissels which I love but they break after a year or two. Love my Dyson hairdryer but their top of the line vacume came with too many gadgets for me to fuss with. This is, hands down, the best wet dry vac I have ever owned. I have a big dog with a double coat and we really have to keep up on things - cleaning dog hair off of rollers is no fun. With this vacuum - it cleans itself. LOVE.
