This is my first cordless vacuum and I could not be any happier with it. It's very lightweight, quiet, and easy to maneuver thanks to the 180° swivel head. Since I have allergies, I like that it has a filtration system that helps provide cleaner air. Simple to use, just press the power button and select the power you want. The attachments are easy to change, which help a lot since I have hardwood floors and area rugs. I like that the charging stand has a spot to charge an extra battery, should I decide to buy one. I definitely think it's worth the cost.
