I use it every day!

We were given this vacumm when we bought our first home with mostly hard floor surfaces and I've used it nearly every day for the last 6 years. Honestly if the cats had not chewed on the cord so badly (exposing the wires and cord protector) we would only be getting replacement filters. I use it mostly for the trailed cat litter - since no mater how careful your feline babies are they do trail a little from their box. It is also great for the dry messed my kids make. My oldest is just now 5 and youngest is 3. Goldfish crackers, pretzels, cereal, bread crumbs, and other dry foods that have been found on the floor or been smashed into fine crumbs by your shoe get cleaned up easily. It is compact enough that we can keep it in the coat closet for easy acess upstairs, or downstairs in the larger closet with the other vacuum and carpet cleaner. Yes we do have to empty it often, but it is easy to do and quick.
I was interested in a stick vacuum because I have close spaces in my living room. The regular vacuum was too big and too heavy to lift and manage. The lightweight stick vacuum was just what I needed. I'm able to vacuum in those too close spaces and I'm able to lift it over the sofa /love seat.
Powerful for small vac. Fits in car when traveling. Use in car with a.c. converter which costs about $30 and plugs in lighter. Works on carpet ok - wish it had brush on floor attachment. Improvements would be: 1. edge attachment needs lip so it does mot get stuck in unit. 2. Make on off switch more distinguished from basket latch and make basket latch more foolproof. I sometimes make a mess when I go to shut off. 3. Have edge attachment double as clean out tool. Serrate upper end.
Line cord power no battery fade, effective. We find that using this unit almost eliminates the need for regular use of a bigger machine. What an exceptional machine.
I have a robot vac for 'dusting' and damp mopping, and one for major vacuuming, as I have cats and tile floors. I needed a lightweight vac for keeping the litter box area free of spilled dusty particles and for a quick vac without starting up the 'bots. I have no need for large heavy-duty and expensive vacuums, as I have small floor areas and no carpeting that aren't conducive for big machines. This vac is perfect for my needs and gets used on average twice a day to keep the litter particles from 'traveling' all over the house. I can also do a quick vac in closets and garage floor. It does exactly what it should for a small incidental machine.
