I was looking for a reliable stick vac and looked through all the reviews for the name brands - they weren’t that great. Then I saw this one and everyone seemed to love it - so I got it. It’s just what I needed. It’s not the most well put together little vac, but most of these types aren’t. It has more suction than any others I’ve had and is light enough to fly through the house easily with. I would definitely buy this again if needed.
