This is my third cordless vac in about 5-6 years and I must say this one beats all others hands down. It's very versatile, lightweight, easy to use and store, and I love that the battery is onboard so I don't have to worry about misplacing it or remembering to recharge it in a separate charging station. The power cord for charging is convenient, and the collection cup is easy to remove and empty. I have a separate handheld vac that I can now relegate to the garage because this one come with a hand vac built in for capturing crumbs in sofa cushions or any debris a normal vacuum cleaner can't reach. My only complaint about this unit is that the battery doesn't last long enough for my needs, so it's only good for quick jobs between regular vacuums with my larger unit. But it's outstanding for quick jobs and has great suction power for such a lightweight unit, even picks up fur from my eternally shedding longhair cat!
