Easy to use for small areas and light for doing sets of stairs. Battery doesn't last long but another can be bought. Telescopic extension was useful for high ceilings, again the light weight of the device was great for clearing out cobwebs. Little carpet/soft furnishings attachment good for removing pet fur from sofas and similar furnishings. The small capacity of the 'bin' storing means it needs to be emptied frequently. Emptying the device is really easy, more so than previous devices.
