Off the bat, I LOVEEEE how strong the suction is, that comes from this vaccum. It is extremely powerful, and grabs the most pesky of hairs and crumbs! The vaccum is also lit at the base, so you can see things under unreachable areas. No cord, is obviously a big bonus, because there's nothing to trip over. The only thing I dislike, is that when using the hand held feature, it is a tad heavy and bulky.
