This little handheld picks up great! Pet hair is a breeze as well as bigger objects. Runs long enough to clean the whole house. It is easy to use just the top portion for stairs and sofas. 
Two little issues that need to be addressed:
1. How do you stand it up without leaning it on something? This should be something that the company takes care of and sends out to all people who purchased previously
2. They should warn everyone that you will need to take apart the the underside of the roller to clean out the back portion. 
I only found out how much hair was blocked up back there when I lost an earring and thought I heard it go up the vac. Turns out there was a a huge clump of hair in the area that leads up to the hose part. 
Still - I would recommend because it is very good and powerful and I love how hair doesn't wrap around the roller.
