I decided to list this item at the last minute, so I cleaned it as thoroughly as possible, except for the inside of the cyclone. It works perfectly. Missing the middle hose. Cordless stick vacuums are heavy and tiring to hold, but canister vacuums are light, so your hands don't get tired, allowing for long cleaning sessions. They are also recommended for women. Includes the manual, but no box. Thank you for your interest.
