I love this vacuum!! It is lightweight, easily maneuverable, has great suction, and holds a charge well (ie, has never lost its power when I'm using it). The removable handheld unit, which can be detached from the stick for quick pick-ups, is a nice feature. This vacuum also comes with a set of attachments for tight spaces, upholstery etc. Tip: I keep it on its charger when not in use, and I empty the dustbin after each use to keep the suction strong. I liked this vacuum so much that I bought a 2nd one -- one for upstairs, and one for downstairs. Great product!
