I live in a two story single family home and have a 50 pound puppy and a toddler, needless to say, there is always something to clean and pickup. The Vibe 3- in 1, is great for quick clean ups that do not involve a full size vacuum cleaner. I find it very useful to tidy up on a daily basis and to get rid of small itens, specially on the second floor as it is lightweight and easy to carry up and down the stairs. The cord is fairly long, so that is also a plus. Definitelly a nice adittion to my daily cleanning routine.
