Wow I can't believe how well this dirt devil power swerve cordless stick vacuum works I haven't had a vacuum in a little over a year now because my kids broke the other one I had, this vacuum is so powerful it wanted to go as soon as I turned it on.. it pulled up so much hidden dirt out of the carpets that we couldn't see was left behind after sweeping. I am so happy that this vacuum is small and lightweight so that I can put it together and handle it without struggling to carry it. I am very pleased with my cordless dirt devil swerve.
