I absolutely love this vacuum! The cordless design makes it easy to grab and go for quick clean-ups. It is really quiet but has powerful suction and does an efficient clean on both carpet and hard surfaced floors. It's also just the right size to vacuum stairs without having to bend over or break a sweat.  The pop-out handheld vacuum is really handy for cleaning couch cushions and hard to reach corners.  This vacuum is small and gets the job done!
