I've only owned this item for about a month but have used it often and it does the trick. It's lightweight and easy to maneuver. I love the upholstery attachment!!! I also own one of the more expensive Shark Pro vacuums, which is for my primary home. It feels more substantial (it's heavier) but I haven't noticed a huge difference in suction, power, or cleaning ability. All-in-all, I'm happy with this product and would recommend it. 

Pros: Lightweight
