The cordless 12kpa vacuum is a good cleaner especially for an older person or someone who does not have  children and or pets. it does a great job for me as a single owner and a smaller house... biggest problem -I am teck challenged person  , I am not impressed the design engineer how it all works.... thank goodness for good neighbours.. He sorted out how everything clicked together and put colour tabs for lining up the clicks.  you have to make sure you are not putting the bare floor beater when doing a rug  surface . It picks up dust and dirt well and goes under furniture quite well. it also is good in the kitchen .... it works for 24 minutes on average , weight is very good and the charger is light and easy.
