Finally I have found a winner! I have been buying cordless vacs for quite some time now and have been disappointed with every one of them - so I would return them after the first use. I decided to give this model a try based on other reviews - so, while I was skeptical that this would be any different from the rest, it had become a mission to find a cordless vac that I liked. I have to say that this is THE BEST CORDLESS VAC EVER! :-) I will now go into more detail - and it will be wordy so stop here if you are easily bored...lol This vac is so easy to use and does a great job on my hardwood floors while effortlessly handling the rugs I have scattered about. It's not so powerful that it sucks up the area rugs but it is powerful enough to pick up everything on them. I go from hardwood to rug and back without a second thought. I even use this on my carpeted areas of the house for quick cleaning and it works wonderfully. Lint, hair, crumbs, dust - it picks it all up. Vacuuming is one of my least favorite tasks but I actually enjoy using this one. My 16 year old son will even use this without whining! The handheld vac is great for furniture and even does a decent job vacuuming out a car - this is much better than your mother's "dustbuster"...lol Emptying it is easy and the filter can be rinsed/washed when it inevitably becomes dusty. While I am totally in love with this vac there are a couple minor improvements I would make...they are very nitpicky but it also gives you a better idea of how difficult I am to please. I wasn't expecting it to rival my regular vacuum but it comes closer than anything I have ever tried (including corded models of "stick" vacuums) and blows away the competition for cordless models. First -- It doesn't give you any warning before the battery runs out - but that also means that you have full suction until the battery quits. You're just vacuuming along and all of a sudden it just quits. The first time it did this I freaked because I thought it had permanently died - but a quick charge had it working perfectly again. Second -- it would be nice if it had a bigger dirt cup. However, in order for that to happen you would probably have to give up the convenience of the handheld vac. Like I said - these are nitpicky things and after a few uses I can easily judge how long I have to vacuum before it quits and when the dirt cup needs emptying. I haven't kept track of how long the battery lasts because I usually do a lot of starting/stopping when going room to room but I do know I can do the kitchen, dining room, and living room hardwood floors along with the area rugs before I need to recharge it. I've owned this vac for a few months now - I wanted to wait to review it until I was sure I loved it as much now as I did when I first purchased it - and I do. :-)
