Great for usage in my mom's senior living apartment! She absolutely loves it and because of the light weight she can handle it easily without hurting herself. And the suction and ability to clean is superior for the size of the unit-remarkable! I am thankful to have found this Bissell ReadyClean Cordless 10.8V stick vacuum for her. Not only is it safer for her being cordless (which could be a tripping hazard) but with her being able to do this for herself, it allows her to enjoy feeling like she can do something to care for herself, her little dog, and her home environment. The added attachment for upholstery is a useful bonus-so glad I ordered it, too. Thank you! #sweepstakes
