I love the simplicity of this vacuum and its super powerful! I bought it at a great sales price and when it was delivered, even my husband mentioned how light it was when he picked up the box. I have both hard wood and carpet, and also a short haired cat who sheds regularly and it does the job for both and its charge lasts well. I charged it full for a day and then used it for a full carpet area cleaning (2 bedrooms and a long hallway and it still had some juice left when I resurfaced cleaned a few days later. Im very happy with this purchase.
