This vacuum really holds up to the Shark name. It’s got some powerful suction, but it’s lightweight enough for anyone to pick up for use around the house. It’s great for using on my stairs that I normally have to brush with a dustpan and mini broom to get clean. Yes, I’m actually serious. I have to brush my stairs because it was impossible to vacuum. Well, not anymore thank goodness. This makes cleaning the stairs so much easier which is great because all the litter that gets tracked up then all the time. I swear it’s every day. But this makes those frustrations just a little less so because this simplifies cleaning in hard to reach with a normal vacuum places. Plus the cordless part makes it even better because there’s no more rolling and unrolling the long, long cords. Have I mentioned that this vacuum makes life easier? Seriously, if you’re thinking about getting the vacuum… DO IT!
