First of all anytime I see something that is a 3 in 1 I'm like SCORE! I'm a mom of 3 so I don't have much money to spend on a ton of items so I'm always looking for things that can not only be used more than once but something that can function in more ways than one. I love how the vacuum is light weight but has a STRONG suction. I vacuum all the time but feel like o was living it filth when I saw what was picked up. YIKES! It sucks great on hardwood floors and carpet, I was pleasantly surprised. I LOVE that you can use this i your car because my kids are so messy. It sucks up dog hair so well. You can't even tell he lives here anymore lol. Great for homes, cars, stairs.
