This vacuum is exactly what we were looking for.  Not only does it hold its charge longer than we anticipated but it has great suction!  We wanted a vacuum we could hang in the closet, plug in a charger, and use it quickly for messes, dog hair, kids mess, etc.  That has been the case but I’m finding myself vacuuming more often than I ever did due to the convenience of it being cordless.  Wonderful addition to our home.
