This has quickly become my favorite stick vacuum! I love that it can go from carpet to hard floors without missing anything. I really wanted something lightweight and easy to use so my kids would actually use it and thus certainly delivers; even my three year old will reach for it if he sees a mess on the floor. The larger capacity debris holding cup means we don't have to stop while in-use just to dump so we can finish, and the washable filter is going to save us money and guarantee thus stick model gets used and won't end up in the garage out of sight.
