This is a power little vacuum! It has good suction to clean up after my very messy children. It is also easy to carry from room to room after the trail of crumbs my kids leave. My only complaint is the power cord. It is a retractable cord, so if you don't give yourself a lot of slack, you will constantly unplug the vacuum in you quest to follow the dirt. A minor issue with a solid vacuum. It also stores well, though attachments cannot be stored on the vacuum.
