I live in an apartment and really like this vacuum since it is easy to maneuver around tight spaces. It makes it so easy to get around all of my furniture. It has a powerful suction and has picked up all of the dirt I have thrown at it. It is made very well and has lasted me for a very long time. I love Hoover products and will continue to buy from this company. I would completely recommend this vacuum to all of my friends and family.
