This vacuum cleaner is used for our 2000 sqm house. ft. The floor is 1/2 tile and 1/2 carpet. Preferences: light and comfortable. Does a reasonable job at low power, high power is reserved for when I want to go fast. Easy to clean dust container and very manoeuvrable. I don't like messing around with cables and hoses. Dislikes: You can't just charge the battery since it's in the main unit. There should be an outlet in the closet if you want to charge and hide from view. The filters need to be cleaned and dust gets on your fingers when they are removed from the tank. The unit comes with a hard floor rug and brush that must be alternated when moving from one surface to another.
