I can't tell you how  much I love this vacuum cleaner, I have a bad back and it's light weight so I can clean my house without it hurting my back,I can do carpet and vinyl,also love that the end swivels and can get in tight places and in corners.Also it has a great suction and easy to dump the dirt from canister,also can clean my furniture with it by taking canister off and adding the attachment and is rechargeable so I don't have to drag a long cord around getting in the way.This vacuum is a must for anyone in my book!
