This is a wonderful vacuum.  The suction power and several attachments make cleaning so much more efficient.  Super lightweight and easy to maneuver up and down the stairs.  It hangs on the wall, out of the way.  I intended this to be a "quick clean up" vacuum, however I find myself grabbing this instead of the big vacuum.  It doesn't stand upright on it's own, so you have to lay it down...which is not a big deal.  Love it and would definitely buy it again!!!
