I find this lightweight bagless little vacuum perfect for teaching my kids how to clean up behind them, they really enjoy it. doesn't clean very well so perfect for meal breaks or art projects picks up larger pieces but for a real deep clean I personally wouldn't recommend this vacuum. For our purposes learning to tidy up behind us, picking up leftover food and shiny little pieces of paper and making children feel like they are helping around the house, it is the perfect vacuum cleaner.
