I bought this because I was sick of sweeping my hardwood floors then mopping them, only to see dirt and residue left behind. I have hardwood and area rugs downstairs and then carpet up my stairs and all upstairs. I love this vacuum! I have two black labs and their hair is everywhere!! But, this vacuum gets everything and is so lightweight. The positives about this vacuum would be it's lightweight, easy to use and I have no issues going from hardwood to area rug. I also love the attachment to get into hard to reach places. The negatives would be that the cord is somewhat short (not a huge issue though), that I have to empty it quite a bit (which this vacuum isn't meant for big jobs anyways) and it didn't do well on my carpet upstairs. I'm not sure why but even when I emptied the canister and cleaned the filter, the vacuum didn't pick up that well on my stairs. Overall, I love this vacuum for my hardwood and area rugs- I can do a quick cleanup without lugging around a heavy vacuum or sweeping which didn't pick up everything. It did a fabulous job on my hardwood, linoleum flooring, and area rugs. The regular caroeting upstairs- not so great but I use my Shark vacuum upstairs and I'm fine with that. I have recommended this to my family and friends as it is lightweight and easy to use.
Perfect for daily clean up without having to drag the big vacuum out...I have 2 dogs, 3 cats and a parrot and could not be more happy with the performance of this stick vac...As I stated above you have to empty the cup often but that may be because we have so many animals...I really love this and so happy with this purchase and would purchase again...You cannot go wrong...
I love this unit because it is so light weight but yet cleans the floor and the tile in the kitchen easily. We have several bird cages...works great picking up all the empty seed casings!! The first one I had was PINK and it was a gift from a very dear friend of mine. This new one I purchased it myself! Bad arthritis prohibits me from pushing heavy vacuum around any longer. I'm almost 75
I had read the previous review before purchasing, but I decided to get it anyway. I am not sorry. I use it daily in the kitchen and laundry area, where I have a litter box. I have even used it though out the house between the big biweekly vacuuming. I love it. I always clean my vacuums after each use anyway.
Have 2, 10 years + with no problems. They get daily use. If they ever break I would buy another one. they will even pick up spilled cat litter, my rainbow has a hard time picking it up. with 7 cats I have lots of hair.
