Since my partners illness; I purchase this unit for its practicality, lightness and easy for me to use, different settings to achieve that just been vacuumed look, on all types or flooring. Its disassembly within seconds to reduce in size and movability to allow stairs to be cleaned like a breeze. Battery charging no hassle can easily be done off the unit. It is a dream of a vacuum, that allows me more freedom, as I can clean our four bedroom house in under two hours to a high standard would recommend.
