The vac cleans very well. I am pleased with the job it does, especially in my kitchen area which is limestone. The vac is light and easy to maneuver. Does a good job up against the baseboards. My only mild criticism is that I wish the capacity of the cleaning water and wastewater tank was larger. I have to stop and refill several times to do my whole kitchen and family room area. Not a deal breaker though. The vac cleans hard surfaces so well
