I really like this vacuum! I have 2 cats and so I find myself having to vacuum up stray litter multiple times a day. It can be really annoying to have to lug out my big heavy duty vacuum every single time. I tried buying a handheld vacuum, but the battery life was super short and then it involved me getting down on the ground or bending over to vacuum. This is a great, compact and lightweight option. I keep it up against the wall by my front door and you barely notice it's there. It's super easy to use and does a great job sucking up any dirt or debris.
