I love this little vac . it be easy to use and store out of the way . I use it on my stair , kitchen floor , and foyer . I be pleasantly surprise with the out come ; it be just what I be look for . the only downside for I be have to empty it . it be a little awkward have to hold it over the trash to empty while the lid try to close . I think if the lid stay open while be empty it would be much better . that con be very small in comparison to what you gain from this vac .
