I really like the lightweight design, makes vacuuming easy on your back! 2 batteries allow the entire house to be swept prior to batteries needing recharged. Suction is amazingly powerful! I can go from carpet to hardwood to tile with no issues with suction or battery draining. I can use the HI speed to get suction into those nooks and crannies of door mats. The washable filter is a game changer, because I don't have to worry about having a clean unused filter on hand, just take the filter out and wash and you are good to go!! While using the stick vaccum it is nice and quiet, does not disturb the dog who does not like loud vaccums. I highly recommend this Samsung stick vacuum!!
