This is a fabulous little thing. Light and easy to use. A long cable. It is pretty powerful and picks things up right to the edges with no effort. It has no problem cleaning up bigger things and manages to pick up long hair without problems. I bought this as an occasional tidy up device. I now use it in preference to my main vacuum. It's quite noisy but no more so than other 1000watt devices. It is easy to empty and I think really needs emptying after each use but it is no effort to do that. I need to see if I can get replacement filters as I imagine it will need replacing at some point. I am delighted with product and for the money I think it is an absolute bargain. Great value for money.
