I had been looking for another cordless vacuum for several months. Prior to this I had a Hoover cordless which I liked but could not get. My sister told me about this one so I bought it. I have used it at least 4-5 times and am very pleased with it. The battery still does not need charged which is a plus. For me, it is hard to push on my carpet but I have this problem with other vacuums as well.
