Glllllliiiiiiide…yep, it glides! This was a very pleasant surprise…how can something so compact, so light and so ‘glidey’ work SO efficiently!? Yet, IT DOES! I needed an easy way to keep my hard surface floors upstairs clean and dust free… THIS does it! When I’m done I can see in the clear bin the dust I could not see on the floor…whaaaaat!? I love Dyson stuff!
