This stick vacuum is light weight, easy to maneuver and suction is very good.  Works great on both floors and carpet and light feature is helpful to see dust or pet hair on floors while vacuuming. Easy to clean/empty the dust canister.  Detaching and using as a handheld with the accessories is great for hard to reach areas and for cleaning automobile.  The power cord is long so a larger area can be covered before moving to another outlet.
