I love this vacuum through its little laws. The suction on this vacuum is amazing. I have blacl carpet in my craft room, so i get lots of scraps, dust, you name it. I ran this vacuum one time over and it pulled u so much dogs hair, dust, scrap pieces that I was surprised. I love the light feature, how big the canister is and how fast the battery charged. Being that i own dysons and shark vacuums I knew what i was comparing too. Although i loved this vacuum, having 1 battery is never fun (so having an extra battery would make this a bit better) and the heavyness of the large canister buts lots of stress on the arms with this hoover stand up vacuum. The mobility compared to shark, the hoover is a little more stiff, and i would have prefered a folding feature. This vacuum is very top heavy.
