My old vacuum was very large and bulky, and sometimes would leave some garbage behind. but this vacuum has been a game changer. It feels light weight, so your arm doesn't get tired from vacuuming. Has a very powerful suction that even when I vacuum cat litter that falls on the  floor it leaves nothing behind. And what I love the most is that the charging station suctions out all the garbage that was picked up that day to a container that is separate from the vacuum so you don't have to go through the trouble or deal with allergies because of the dust like me when removing the garbage that was picked up in the vacuum. I would definitely recommend to buy
