This vacuum is very maneuverable. It goes easily from hardwood to carpet. I like the ability to charge the battery as you would a phone, no awkward wall mount, just pull off the battery and plug it in anywhere. Battery life is excellent. Emptying the canister is also a breeze and the push out lever alleviates the need to use your hand aiding the dust bunnies to the trash. I am glad I purchased this vacuum and I have recommended it to friends.
