I am 72 years old and live in a small 400 sq ft 1 bedroom apt. I love it but hated dragging a vacuum around and storing it.No Room!.This little but mighty guy solves all those problems. I can store on the kitchen counter and no can tell it is my powerful suction vacuum. It has a sleek very compact design. It is sturdy-it takes a drop or fall just fine. It can take getting wet (It started as a car vac-too good for that!). Gets A+for pet hair! Perfect for small spaces and decor delight so I bought another! Highly recommend!
