Extremely surprised and impressed by this. Got it on sale and noted that it was "compact" so I wasn't expecting much. But this vacuum has a LOT of suction power. It's really lightweight (almost too lightweight, felt almost like a toy after the big heavy old dyson we're replacing with it) so it's easy to move around, and the different component pieces make it easy to vacuum and dust all over. Plus the central barrel is easy to empty, which I do after every use just to make sure it stays vacuuming so strongly. All in all i'm very impressed at the quality based on the price I paid
