I bought two different vacuums at once because the discount was equivalent to getting one for free. The first came with all the bells and whistles, and the second was a basic vacuum cleaner that only had a handheld or wand option. They fit my 8 year old grandson and I perfectly (I'm 5ft 1in) but can be annoying for a tall person. Both had good suction and were easy to clean. I've used both a stick and portable and both had decent cord lengths. Vacuuming stairs is now easier, and picking up crumbs etc. in hard-to-reach places is much easier than lugging around a big vacuum cleaner. Great for dog fur on the couch. So far they've worked well. I had another, more expensive, handheld/handheld vacuum and the new ones seem to suck better. One stays with my daughter and the other stays at my house. Are they as cool as the paid ones? No and they aren't that heavy so I don't mind a cable and love the ease of use.
