When I first saw how small this vacuum cleaner was I didn't think it would be very powerful. Once I used it I completely changed my mind. It has more suction power than my old upright does. It's very easy to move around. I also am delighted how well it cleans my bare floors. I've never had that option before. I have never been able to clean the dust from my ceiling fan without standing on something and using a rag. Now I can clean it using the extension rod. I love it and would highly recommend this product!
