(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) The battery doesn't last long enough to vacuum my entire main floor I keep a corded vac on the second floor so I don't have to wait for the stick vac to charge. It doesn't pick up pet hair off textured floor mats very well and is heavier than I'd expected when using it with the smaller attachments on furniture/baseboards etc. it was expensive for something I don't like to use I wish I would have just gotten the corded version instead. *This stick vac is be best for someone in a small space and in low traffic areas.
