I have found this little vacuum to be both convenient and easy to convert from one use to another. I have been able to clean up small messes on the floor, in the window sill when a plant tipped over and an embarrassing amount of dust hiding on top of my laundry room cabinets. It is lightweight and easy to maneuver. The cord is long enough to reach most of the room and sturdy enough that I don't worry about accidentally running it over. My only concern that only time will tell is whether it will hold up long term. Parts of it feel a little flimsy and I hope they will not break with extended use.
