This is my new best friend. No more mop and broom. This does both at the same time or one at a time. I love it. It picks up dirt excellently. I consider this an investment because I went through two other stick vacuums in my house just to pick up the remains from sweeping as I hate using a pale they both broke and I said that’s it... this Symphony is mine! It’s been pleasant since day one. I use it on ceramic tile, hardwood floor, and vinyl tiles. Though I don’t have pets I and my daughter have very long hair.
