I love this vacuum because it is cordless. I can do all the floors without messing about with a cord. It's super easy to clean the stairs compared to your standard vacuum. It is very useful how it converts to a handheld vacuum. It's also great for reaching up high like cleaning the tops of curtains. The light is bright and you can see what you're doing. It's also great for getting under the bed. Basically everywhere it is difficult to use a full size vacuum this one can do a lot easier. The suction is good and it is easy to empty the canister. It works well on carpet and on hard floors. Very happy with it.
