When my Vibe arrived I unboxed it with the intent of giving my dining room a quick once over. (With 4 kids there are always crumbs to be found around the table!) My quick once over quickly led to me vacuuming the whole house! I couldn't stop myself! It was lightweight, powerful for its size, and a ton of fun to push around! I was using it on hardwood, tile, and low pile area rugs and it was perfect! I did try it on my carpeted stairs and it was ok for a quick clean but I would certainly still need to use my heavier vacuum for that in the future. I also loved that I could stand the vacuum up on its own and not have to worry about leaning it up against the walls. I will say the ONLY possible thing that would make the Vibe better if there were a cordless/rechargeable battery option.
