It’s very powerful for a stick vacuum. The green light is cool but they should have put it on both sides and on both motor heads. It cannot do area rugs though. High pile or short weave, it pulls the rug up and stops the motor heads from spinning. Neither motor head can do it. I think it is because they are so thin, there’s not enough vacuum head surface area to hold down the rug. For the price of the vacuum, I feel like you should get more of the available accessories with it. I probably wouldn’t buy it again since it can’t do rugs and they seem to charge an arm and a leg for the accessories you need and they don’t make the accessories compatible with their other machines.
