Big suction in a small package! Very easy to push, even my son enjoyed it!  The pictures are from one use after using my old vacuum cleaner! The detachable handheld portion will come in handy for smaller spaces, and I look forward to trying it out in my stairs as well.  It is fairly quiet for a vacuum, but it is still a vacuum, so remember that.   The odor neutralizer is a strong smell even on the lowest setting, but that's really my only complaint.  I love that it curls up hair in the canister, I've never owned something that did that, but it will be very useful in my home.  Switches easily from carpet to hardwood also.  Very pleased!
