I'm in love with my new vibe stick vacuum. It's so convenient. It is lightweight and easy to use anywhere. The handheld dust buster is a huge bonus. I find myself using it almost daily and I don't think I will ever use my broom again. It works on all of my floors and gets into corners and under things easily. The 18ft cord is a good length. The only thing that would make it better would be if it was cordless.
