I absolutely LOVE this light weight, but powerful vacuum. It is the only vacuum I have ever used that doesn't put my back out. I love this vacuum SO MUCH that after the first one I bought quit working the third time I used it, I actually would have bought another. I did not have to though, as Bissell quickly sent me a replacement. I recently did purchase another one though, so I would have a spare while the other is recharging. The freedom of no cord is amazing. I wish it came in prettier colors though. Gray and lime green is underwhelming. Like my turquoise one better. A joyful color makes an unpleasant task a tad more cheerful. I would not have bought the first one if not for the lovely blue color.
