I bought this vacuum cleaner because I needed a new corded vacuum that wasn’t as loud as the one I have now because my kitties hate the one I was currently using. I needed it to work as well and this vacuum is great for my home. This vacuum is so light and easy to maneuver as well as a lot quieter than my previous one. It is so much better to be able to vacuum as much as I need to without stressing my kitties. Ot is also a lot easier to break down to vacuum my cat trees. It takes up much less space than my previous vacuum also.
