This vacuum sucks, because it doesn't suck. We have had this vacuum cleaner for nearly 6 months. It is very maneuverable, light, and convenient to use. Each of the 2 batteries lasts long enough to sweep our entire apartment so we have a spare battery for extra cleaning time. All in all we are glad we went from a large, heavy, bulky upright vacuum. Now, the not so good experience. We find the dirt cup annoyingly small, have to empty it half way through our 2 bedroom apartment. As for the suction power, it is quite under powered. I often have to resort to using the extra, extra power setting, which works better but shortens running time drastically.
If I knew all of this prior to purchase, I would not have purchased this model of vacuum.
