I bought this as i wanted something light weight easy to manage and no wires. This cordless vac is so great i love it. I vacuum the living room my mom's room and mine and the batter didn't die out. I even tried the bare wood floor and it picked up dirt from there too. I love it how it shows in the canister ontop all that dust/hair. I threw it out and it's all lean again. I love it and it works great. I had it for 2wks now and its perfect.
