I have had my cordless vacuum for about a month and a half. I own the Shark Apex Dual Vac also but use cordless for everyday vacuuming. The battery last a long time I have all wood floors 24 hundred square feet and could vacuum twice on the battery. The suction and power is super dust, dirt, pet hair it gets it all. Wish it would stand on its own but other than that I love this vacuum. Worth every cent.
