I actually had never had a cordless vacuum before getting this one but now I will never go back. This vacuum has been a lifesaver. It reaches places my old vacuum couldn't and there's no more tripping over the cord either.  The digital display on the vacuum shows the battery percentage left so there's no guessing when it's going to die. And the battery life is longer than I expected it to be even when I'm using the boost mode.  The attachments help me reach every space in the house and the way the handle bends allows me to get under furniture without hurting my back. Which is a lifesaver because I have back problems and bending can be so hard.  I recommend this vacuum to everyone in my life and I highly recommend it to anyone reading this.
