I have had this product for a little over a month and I'm in love! I previously had a cordless vaccum but the "motor" was at the top which made it sometimes cumbersome to use. The Versa's "motor" is more towards the bottom allowing me to maneuver around more efficiently. I've used on carpets and I was amazed on how much this small powerful appliance picked up. I also used on hardwood which does take some getting used to, making sure you get all the mess off the floor. The quick release cup is easy to remove and clean out and can hold a good amount, although I would suggest emptying the cup frequently for maximum vaccum power. My toddler also likes to vaccum and this is much easier for him to hold so that is a plus for this family!
