I didn't expect much for the price, but this vacuum is actually really great! It has a lot more power than you'd think. I have a small one bedroom apt and it can handle the entire place (kitchen and bathroom, too) in one battery setting. Keep in mind, it does have a small catch chamber but it's kind of fun/so easy using it, so I find myself vacuuming more often and don't need to empty it as often. Perfect for small spaces. And picks up anything from flower petals to dog food to snack crumbs. Highly recommend.
