A stellar addition to my "arsenal" of powered home cleaning equipment. No need to dedicate wall space to hang and recharge this vacuum. For me, the battery lasts 4-5 vacuuming cycles. The vacuum is incredibly easy to empty, clean and it's light weight too. Consumer Reports was 100% accurate when they ranked it their top choice. For the last 7 years I have been using a very expensive plug-in Miele canister vacuum which is very, very good. However, I now reach for my Bissell for routine everyday vacuuming. Twenty-first century technology has finally caught up with the engineering of vacuum cleaners. I hope the engineers who designed this vacuum recieved a ginormous bonus. Yes, it's that good.
