This vacuum is great!  I have pet birds and it's a great way to clean up the mess every day.  Very easy to empty the cup, and it has very good suction - on both hard surfaces and carpets.  The crevice tool is very useful.  There was a mistake and I received two vacuums instead of one, but Wayfair is making the return of the second vacuum very easy.  Just what I need for everyday floor maintenance.
