I didn't want a vacuum with the motor placed on top, but this one is lighter than most so it's OK for me. Suction, battery change, and dirt cup size are quite ample for my small apartment. I like that the combination bristle and power fin roller can be removed for cleaning. Although I haven't used it yet, he crevice tool attachment doesn't look very efficient. At this point, I just hope the battery holds up for a reasonably long time.
