I’ve never had a vacuum that could be held like this before but i’m definitely not going back. Light weight but powerful! It picks up all the dog hair easily along with anything else that might spill on the floor, even cereal since I dropped a bowl the other day. It’s easy to swap the attachments for couch or hard to get to corners. Though cordless can be more convenient, the wired cord ensures you’ll be able to do the whole house as detailed as you want without needed to take a break so a battery can recharge. Easy to empty and the calf cleaning is incredible! I highly recommend this vacuum!
