Wonderfully sturdy yet lightweight. EXCELLENT suction and easy to clean. Very nice design. Problem is the battery life. Fully charged, my brand new vacuum only lasts about 10 minutes before it stops completely and requires a recharge. That's truly unbelievable. This was a gift (after some rudimentary research I asked for "the best 20v handheld..."). Now, reading the reviews I see it'll be downhill fast from here as the battery, which can not be replaced(!!), ages rapidly and dies. Based on many of the reviews, looks like I'll be shopping for a new handheld in about 2 yrs. I'll be better educated next time. Suction, lightweight, AND replaceable battery.
