Pistol I totally agree with your brother !
I have been using vacuum for a week . Very impressed how much easier life is , funny how a vacume can make a potsie so happy 🤣.
It’s great not to get the cord and the cylinder stuck around furniture. The wand angle adjusts so I can clean under furniture without bending down, so no posture change problems It coverts to a hand held so stairs were really easy . Wish I had invested sooner, I have used it daily, our very elderly cat molts constantly .
