I have a Dyson cordless stick vacuum and I needed another cordless vacuum (I'm a cleaning freak) and I didn't want to spend the $$$$ for another Dyson. So I bought the Dirt Devil Versa and I'm in love with it. I think on low pile carpet and wood floors it works better than my Dyson. I told my husband while I was trying this Dirt Devil out in some areas of our house that when I was done I was going to write a 5 star review. This vacuum is light, easy to maneuver and doesn't need an contraption to charge it. Love Love Love!
