This Vacuum is super light weight and gets the job done for light messes. The battery life is not that great, but if you get two batteries, you will be set. If you make sure to have one battery on the vacuum and one on the charger, youll be set to get the most out of this vacuum. There are two modes, low and high, both are powerful enough to pick up messes on the ground or in your car. Overall this is a very good light-weight vacuum.
