Got this looking for an every day vacuum between whole house sweeps wit the plug in. Have only been using for a couple weeks now, but seems to have great suction and light weight. Excellent pick up with both floor attachment and smaller unit. I only give it 4 start though because the process to empty the canister is a little cumbersome. Maybe this helps with longevity of parts.  Also the charging base could be designed a little better. However, having had a dyson for year, i currently feel this one will hold up better against my kids!
