Great Convenience, I find myself using it much more than my old vacuum since I don't have to unwind the cord and find a plug, just pick it up and use it. It makes a great replacement for a broom and dustpan. As with any battery power vacuum it  is not as powerful  but I feel that it is good enough for most of my needs. The biggest issue I have is that it is a very messy process to empty the dustbin. Hair, etc gets stuck in the dust bin and requires you to remove the filter which causes dust to fly everywhere a bag or a better method for emptying the vacuum would make this perfect.
