This was a great buy because one it's Cordless so I can easily carry it anywhere in my home without the hassle of the cord getting in the way. Another get feature is its bagless so it make clean up easy. It's very lightweight weighing under 9 pounds makes it easy to maneuver and store. The best feature is the brush, it cleans both hard floors than a click of a switch changes to a more powerful suction for carpets . It is a multi surface cleaner for all types of areas.. With the easy to clean filter it sucks up not only hard caked on pet hair but also helps and locks in pet odor and other unwanted bacteria. It's a great and powerful vacuum.
