I like that this vacuum has 2 settings. The stronger one is good for thicker carpets and I can change it to go straight on my hardwood.  The vacuum is loud either. 

The battery does not last long at all. I used it on 2 area rugs that weren’t very big and had to recharge. Not sure I would spend the money on something that couldn’t do my first floor without a charge. My home isn’t big either..
