My previous cordless vac had pitiful suction (this is why I got rid of it). This vac still doesn't match a corded vac in suction power but it a tremendous improvement over my former one. I love the fact that you also have a hand held vac for places a stick can't go. The battery life is limited but I knew this would be a factor from the start (since I've already owned a cordless and experienced limited vac time). I also have thick carpet in some rooms in my house and this vac definitely is not made to handle these rooms. It is perfect for my tile floors and tight spots. And like I said before, the hand held works well on furniture, computer keyboards, and other very tight spots where the stick can't go.

I bought this vacuum for my wife and she loves it she cannot stop using it

Due to back problem I can not handle anything heavy. This vacum is light, manageable, work to the perfection BUt do not charge enough electricity to clean more than 3 rooms

I bought this vac as a back-up for my regular unit. I would not recommend it as your primary vac. Battery lasts a decent amount to time but would be pressed to match a corded unit. Also the suction is really not for thick carpet. But for touch-ups it is prefect. In addition, you can detach the main unit and use it as a hand held which I find ideal for small clean-ups or use in my car.

Although I would like a little longer power time, the stick vac is convenient, especially the hand held attachment.

This floor cleaner is GREAT for hardwood floors-powerful and it picks up dog hair easily!
