My expectations of a hand vacuum are very low. I've never liked anything on a budget. I always find that buying a big vacuum is better than buying an expensive handheld vacuum. I look forward to more suction power and will definitely be relying on it to quickly vacuum furniture and ceiling fans! The weight is very light, loud as you would expect, and the nozzle extends just long enough to reach any position I think it can be used. If you need 20-25 minutes of light vacuuming, this is a perfect choice. Battery life is longer, but with a lithium-ion battery, I never want the battery to completely drain.
