I love this Shark because it is so portable. I have three floors in my home, and lugging my heavy vac up and down is such a hassle, I keep my Shark on the second floor, and with a 30 min full charge I can do all the bedrooms and bathroom. I have no problems carrying it down to the next floor when necessary. I have two dogs, and the pet attachment is awesome! It cleans ups my pet hairs easily. Definitely my go too for a quick vac before company arrives.
