When it comes to cleaning, the noise does not make you believe there is a lot of suction.  You also do not feel it gripping to the floor like a corded vac.  But I must say it cleans well.  The charging stand and additional battery are great.  Not having a back up battery will cause frustration.  

Cleaning the vac is easy and it extends long enough for someone 6’2.  

It is quick and easy to grab and vacuum the place, but I still feel a corded vac does a better job.

What I do not like is that I need to swap brush heads fwhen moving from carpet to wood.  

All in all I recommend this vac but may buy a corded one in addition for that monthly thorough clean.
