The Swivel head and the lightness of this product makes it easier to get the job done. Be careful though, either I'm not doing something right or it's one of those vacuums that you can't just stretch just a wee bit more without it tipping over on you. Come on...those of us who vacuum know what I mean, just a wee bit more stretch:)

Pros: light with swivel head
Cons: tips over easily
