Final production design with off-aisle cleaning wand and 15 feet of hose that self-retracts when the vacuum motor is on. Storage area for the wand head and extra vacuum bags is under the soft cover on top. Design is purposely aimed at being calm, soft and friendly to accommodate the needs of users and bystanders so as not to feel threatened by the vacuum.
