. I use it 1-3 times daily. The battery died on one and maybe it could have been fixed but I honestly wanted to upgrade. I do wish bissell would bring back the charging "station" vs the chord design. Despite that little disappointment I still love this vacuum. It's light weight and moves easily from room to room and easy to carry up or down the stairs. I even got several friends to purchase this item. It swivels easily around furniture. If you want to get under low furniture this may be a problem For some people. The battery life is sufficient for my 1800 sq ft house. Easy to clean and maintain. Occasionally(1 time a year) I have to replace the spin thing that gathers up all my hair and dog hair. Easy to clean cup and filter.
