I received my Shark Cordless Vacuum Stick and was immediately pleased with weight of the vacuum.  It was light weight and so easy to use.  As I vacuumed I found it cleaned well.  Having a cat makes my cleaning a little more difficult and the Shark picked up all the cat hair as well as the excess dirt in my house.  The emptying of the collected hair and dirt was just as easy.  I would recommend this cleaner to someone looking for an easy, effective way to clean.
