This became our go to vacuum quickly. It's compact and lightweight makes it super easy for anyone to use. It supports various configurations to where it can be applied to any situation I've came across. We've used it for our entire house which includes hardwood and carpet with no issues. The battery last long enough to vacuum our 1800sqft house more than once. I will mention that if you haven't vacuumed in a while, you may not get the same results. My wife and I have also used this for vacuuming our cars with the included attachments which worked great. The battery take about 2.5 hours to charge once depleted. My only complaint is I wish it had a contract charger on the hanging rack. Once the battery dies, it has to be removed and charged in a location with an available outlet so you're not always charged and ready to go but it wouldn't be a deal breaker for me now after using it.
