I absolutely love this stick vacuum. I needed something not heavy and bulky to do my 27 steps in my house and this is the answer. Wonderfully lightweight and easy to use. Great suction on and off the carpet. Easily converts to a handheld vacuum to clean the corners of my ceiling that gets dust webs. Has a pet tool to help with the impossible vacuum up pet hair off of a pet bed. Easy empty dirt cup. I wish I would of bought this 
years ago. I would definitely recommend it to a friend.
