It is light and compact. Good to get around some areas and things in a hurry. We use it about 2-3x a week. Easy to clean. The only issue is the charging cord stopped working and we had this for about 6 months now. Checked the cord with a voltmeter which showed no power coming out of the ending that plugs into the unit. Only one place sells this charging cord (Not the DD website) and it cost about half of what we paid for the unit. It's a shame. 6 months and now I have not cordless vacuum.
