Ok for quick clean up’s but battery dies fast on high power, which is what I like to use. It can’t replace plug in vacuum. Takes too long to charge!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We purchased this for our new home and I love everything about it. It’s easy to use and easy to dock. It replaced other vacuum type things in our home. Such as our car vacuum and our pet hair furnature vacuum. We are considering buying a second one for the upstairs.
Love this V8 Handheld vacuum. It's quieter and runs for a longer time than the V6. However, emptying the V6 canister was easier. With the V8, the whole vacuum part has to be pulled up and out of the canister to empty the contents. I also love all the attachments that are included with the vacuum. I hope this vacuum lasts for nine years, as did the V6. It's the battery pack or the charging cord that stops working, not the vacuum itself.
Like that it is light and cordless but the battery life is not great. Cannot vacuum the house in 1 battery life session..
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
