My husband replaced the upstairs flooring with laminate and bought the LG A905RM stick vacuum for me for Christmas. I love the fact it is cordless, lightweight, easy to use in either hand and I can reach all the way under my bed to get the cat fur. Using the turbo feature, it picks up the kitty litter without throwing it back out onto my feet. It is also perfect for vacuuming the stairs. After using this a couple of times, I saw the one that empties itself and mops as well. Wish I had gotten that one!
