Bought for two purposes: picking up cat hair and cat litter from cherry oak floors. I chose this wand over the Shark wand only because it had a long extension tube. I returned the device for the following reasons: 1. The extension tube part is EXTREMELY difficult to remove and the device will not seat in the charger unless removed. I had to ask my husband to take it out of the stick after the first use.2. The crevice tool is not attached to the extension.3. The first use after a full charge lasted almost 15 minutes. Second use, after 3 days in the charger, only 5 minutes passed.4. It's good for picking up cat hair, but not much more, even at top speed.5. If he picks up something like cat litter, he falls out immediately. It looks like a toy, especially the nozzles. I will be returning this item as it is relatively useless as a vacuum cleaner.
