I have been using this vacuum for 2 months every day. It is my first cordless vacuum so I can't compare with other brands. I am satisfied with it so far. It cleans my place as well as how a cord vacuum does. It is so convenient to clean the house any time without plugging in. I use wood pellets for a cat litter purpose, this vacuum can't pick up the wood pellets well on the floor, though. It doesn't bother me a lot because this vacuum cleans my whole house pretty well. It saves my time and energy compared to my previous cord vacuum.
