This Shark vacuum is wonderful in cleaning my home.  The swivel head is so perfect for getting under places so I don't have to move anything for general cleaning needs.   I love the lights in the front so that I don't have to turn on lights in bathrooms or closets just to vacuum.   I especially like how the switch is on the top where I don't have to bend down to switch between carpets and bare floor. I also am happy about the main part becoming a separate hand held vacuum so I can clean my car easier with the attachments too.  The head is smaller than my regular upright and makes it easier to vacuum behind toilets and small places.  I chose the one with the electric cord as I can clean my whole apartment without concern about battery usage.  Love this vacuum
