It works well on my hardwood floors for quick pickups to assist the robovac. Good power to pick up dog hair and dirt/grit off the floor that the dogs brought in. I like that I can pick it up easily and carry it around if needed during vacuuming. Moves easily on wood/solid floors. Retractable cord is a plus. The one negative is that I have to make sure I don't pick up the wand while vacuuming or it disconnects, as there is no gasket or ring that will hold it on. Wish Bissell would fix this problem.
