The Shark Rocket Pro Corded Stick Vaccum is versatile as the main vacuum unit can be attached to the wand and floor nozzle like a regular vacuum, or be detached and used as a handheld portable vacuum.  The stick vacuum can be selected for use on bare floors or carpet and has plenty of suction.  As a handheld, it works great on sofas and stairs.  The LED headlight is a useful feature.  The dust pan is easy to empty, though it can be messy.  Because the vacuum setup is top heavy, the vacuum unit must be detached and stored at the bottom of the wand.
