One of the biggest positives from this vacuum is the weight. Even my kids can lift it with no problem! Despite it's small size and being very lightweight, it does a great job! We use it primarily on our kitchen tile that seems to catch/trap tons of dog and cat hair, especially under the cabinet edges. It's quick to suck it up and easy to dump out. Since it's so small, it can stay right next to the broom in the corner!
