I really like this vacuum. I've never had a cordless vacuum before and didn't realize how much I would really like it! It's very light weight and easy to maneuver. We have 4 pets and 2 kids, and need to vacuum daily. It really gets the job done quick and efficiently. It's pretty powerful, and also very quiet! I can vacuum during nap time and not wake the baby. The light is nice and bright, it's easy to empty and keep clean as well. The only thing that would need improvement is the battery life. But again, I've never had a cordless vacuum before so I'm not sure how long is average for battery life. Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this stick vacuum!
