I never used a stick vacuum before so I wanted to do a test. I used my old vacuum then went over it with the LG vacuum. This vacuum picked up dirt that was left behind from my old vacuum. it comes easy to install and a dock to store it. I like how it has a regular speed and a turbo speed. it come with an extra battery and the dock can actually charge the vacuum and the spare battery at the same time. it's lightweight  and easy to use. If you want to vacuum your steps or furniture it come with attachments to do that.
