Congratulations! Hope you'll post your own review here when it arrives, as each person has different taste and notices different pros/cons.

One thing I forgot to note - unfortunately I never had wet brush vacuum cleaners, and had a chance to try them. For twenty years, I’ve always used particular liquid that “removes dusts, precipitates and static electricity” and cleaned by hand. The only one I tried a cleaning “machine” was...
