I have this vacuum cleaner upstairs. Can’t carry a heavy one up and down the stairs. This vacuum is super lightweight yet super effective in in picking up all the yucky stuff that makes it’s way into our homes. The ease of using the detachable handheld vacuum is easy to use and allows you to reach places you can not with a standard vacuum cleaner. Mine came with several attachments, think my favorite one is the tool that reaches under the stove.
