The best little vacuum cleaner ever! Light weight, excellent cleaning and a great solution for the kitchen. It fits perfectly under the edge of the lower kitchen cabinets and will not scratch or scratch my new furniture. I've had a lot of vacuums, but this little shark is one of the best I've ever owned. Big expensive vacuum cleaners didn't raise socks. Fluff from my woven pattern rug, no problem with my new shark. The dirt container is not very large, so it may need to be emptied every other time. There's also no retractable cord, but that's not a problem for me. The cable is good and also long.
