I love this handheld vacuum. It works really well and has very powerful suction. The bin does have to be cleaned out often, but that does not bother me as it is so compact and light. I would rather have a small bin and this sleek design than a bulkier handheld. 

Also, it holds up to much wear and tear. Mine was in my camper which took a direct hit from an F3 tornado. There was nothing left of the camper, but 3 days later I found the handheld unit sticking out of the mud. It had been in thrown about 50 feet from where some of the remains of the camper landed. It also was in the rain for the rest of that day and the next day. When I picked it up and wiped it off it still ran and had lost no suction. I lost the base and had to order another one, but the vacuum itself is still working like a charm. 

I highly recommend all Shark vacuum products, I have tried the other really expensive one, but the Sharks that I have had ran circles around those, in my opinion.
