this vacuum have a lot of power for a cordless stick vacuum , be easy to clean and be always there fully charge when I need it . I have never use a cordless stick vacuum before but the usefulness and versatility be great . this unit in particular be also easily adjust to go under thing . I find myself willing to clean my floor more promptly due to the convenience as compare to have to use a cord vacuum . it be worth note though , that it work better for hard surface -lrb- vinyl , ceramic , hardwood , etc. -rrb- than for carpet . as far as power , the battery technology in this unit be amazing as it have good suction and a beater bar that you can optionally turn on . also , the charge last quite a while , probably 10 or 15 minute , before you start to notice some loss . but that be a long time when you be just use the unit for quick clean up here and there and then put it back on the charger . excellent product .
