I was VERY skeptical about a battery operated vacuum as I have tried a couple of different battery tan ones and the suction well didn't suck on them. I've always used a shark navigator and felt once you have that cleaner power you will never be happy with what a battery powered vacuum can do...until now. I am honestly surprised how well this little buddy performed. I made sure to do it on my vinyl plank floors and my carpet...pet hair and human hair on household haircut day!! It's so much lighter than my corded shark but for about 45 good min of run time gives it a run for its money! Now it has a smaller dirt tank of course but it's so light and easy to maneuver around and carry...so it even out! I feel like it is my go to for everything we only had little Dustbusters for before! I really do like this little machine!!
