Initially, I thought I would use this stick vacuum primarily on my hard surface floors, but I soon realized just how versatile this vacuum is. The lightweight design and powerful suction along with the duo clean power fins allow me to clean almost every area in my home. The self cleaning brush roll is a definite plus, and I can easily maneuver the vacuum to clean under most of my furniture. You can switch from floor to carpet cleaning with the simple push of a button. The tapered hand vac is great for furniture cleaning and I've found the dusting brush attachment to be perfect for use on my blinds. After you're done vacuuming, the dust cup easily slides out from the hand vac for emptying, and the sleek design makes for easy storage. Overall, I think this ultralight vacuum is an outstanding product as it is very powerful and loaded with essential quality features that are easy to use.
