Versus maneuverable with fairly good suction. We use this basically to vacuum up cat litter on the hard tile floors. There are 2 that cost the review 2 stars. First, the canister if tilted forward while vacuuming, will allow debris to come back out of the brush area with the power off. Big inconvenience. There should have been some type of flapper valve to prevent back flow. Secondly the power cord needs to be wrapped around the canister making it a pain to have to unravel. Should have wrapped to the pole instead. I'll recommend the product because it does the job picking up litter debris.
