This was a gift from my girlfriend...and at first I was kinda like, "Ummm, couldn't you have gotten me motorcycle tires or a case of beer?" But this thing is SUPER handy! My house is predominantly hardwood floors with numerous low pile area rugs. Ever since getting this thing, I haven't used my anchor of an upright vacuum since! It gets under the entertainment center, recliners, couch, etc with ease. It seems to run forever as I have yet to flatten a battery on it, even during a 30 minute vacuum session. All the attachments make it very versatile. Can't believe I would ever say this, but this has been one of the handiest gifts I have ever gotten! Never thought I would say that about a vacuum. Oh yeah...it'll suck up bottle caps too.
