I recently moved into a new house with carpeted stairs and I was having difficulty using my larger vacuum on them. This shark rocket pro cordless was the perfect solution. It is so lightweight but has an amazing amount of power. I use it almost exclusively now on my whole house. I like how light it is and how I can take it anywhere in my house without dealing with a cord. I haven’t found a mess it can’t clean up. It is very easy to empty also. I highly recommend it.
