I live in a three-story five level house, basically stairs on stairs on more stairs. Hauling around a full-size corded vacuum cleaner has been daunting. I was so excited to receive the bissell iconpet turbo! My life has been made so much easier with this cordless vacuum! I literally use this thing EVERYWHERE, including my car! The shape makes it easy to get under pedal and into corners! I can't tell enough people about it!
