It's long handle is great esp as I'm elderly and doesn't have to bend down to use it. It's minuses: 1) it is heavy 2) there's no narrower upholstery brush 3) it would've been nice to replace the battery or have a spare one. I wonder if I will have to buy a new vacuum cleaner if anything goes wrong with the battery I wish I had some way to communicate the above to Eureka and get a response.
