l bought two of them the same time after i saw the ad, i gave one to my daughter and i kept one for myself, i used to own a Dyson and a Shark. i didn't like Dyson because the battery life was short and i couldn't finished vaccumed my house in one charge, besides the handle hurt my thumb when l used it. i bought a Shark but it wasn't cordless and when l saw the cordless Hover ad, i was convinced because i know the branc and i am not disappointed. l like the vaccum because it is light weight and does the job. i can cleaned the wood floor and the carpet in the whole house and still has more battery life. Will recommand to others. Rita
