I bought this vacuum a month ago and I’m so happy I did. I previously had a canister Kenmore vacuum that I pulled behind me and it was just getting to be too much to carry it up and down the stairs like I did. After buying this I find a vacuum more often. Will pull it out for just a quick job. Also find it does great on my German Shepherd’s rug where she lays and picks up all the hair. Also picks up small pebbles without shooting them out the back. I live in a 1400 square-foot home and I rarely use any of the battery even doing two sets of stairs. The battery is holding a nice charge and it gets plenty of suction. I find it very gratifying when I empty the canister to find it fall and see what I have been able to pick up. I would recommend this vacuum to anyone.
