The clip inside the handheld unit broke and it won't attach properly to the main floor unit. Thus, using it as a handy handheld vacuum around the house. The original base unit is too bulky and take up too much space. I made this base to minimize the footprint. Two places you can put the handheld unit in. You can glue the charging cable to either side. The round cylinder at the back is for storing handheld attchment. The hole at the bottom is for adding weights to prevent the station from tilting backwards with the handheld unit on it.
