I am obsessed with my shark! I use it almost every day! It is easy to maneuver and you can get under tables and furniture easily! It also works well on little area rugs which my previous vacuum would just suck up and not really clean. It is very easy to dump the waste, and I like that you see it first in case you accidentally vacuum up something important. I also love that you can detach from the base and use as a hand vacuum. I do this for my lamp shades and blinds and it works well. It’s also perfect for cleaning out the car. The battery life is sufficient for me to finish cleaning and then charge up for the next time. I highly recommend this vacuum!
