Although this super-lightweight vacuum is recommended for quick clean-ups, I recently cleaned my entire 650-square-foot apartment-including hardwood floors, linoleum, low-pile rugs and upholstery-and it did a wonderful job of getting into all the corners, nooks and crannies. As I am older and have lower-back, hip and hand pain on occasion, this stick vacuum is perfect for me-relatively easy to assemble and disassemble, a nice long cord and, of course, so much lighter than a regular vacuum. I definitely recommend it for anyone who wants to make fast work of their next cleaning job!
