Very easy to use! I was surprised at the durability of the plastic on this vacuum cleaner. Despite being so light, it doesn't feel cheap and looks like it's about to break. However, aside from making the clear collection container feel less durable, this doesn't require abuse that the rest of the device will take. . Suction was adequate, there are two modes, the smaller suction wasn't very good but I suppose it would be great for cobwebs and light dust. What I really like is the notch on the tabletop, it works great for me. I can't tell you how many times my broom has slipped off my stand (it replaces my broom). ADVANTAGES: Lightweight, durable, easy mounting options. long range - portability - runtime (45 minutes) - quiet (can talk while running) - swiveling head - price for trusted brand - notch on meter - great for hardwood CONS: - battery not removable for charging - no real charge indicator, just light at half and full charge - difficult to replace bin - no storage/connection points for attachments. They should be kept separate and retrieved when needed. The power button and speed button are very close together, it may take a while to get used to pressing them correctly. not the main vacuum for heavy cleaning. It exceeded my expectations at a price that I could not find in any other NAME BRAND device for this type of vacuum cleaner. I've seen a lot of horror stories about branded sticks that cost three times as much. This would work well for my household, mostly hardwood!
