Love this vacuum! Not only is it very light (compared to corded vacuums), it's also easier to move from room to room and vacuums continuously without having to unplug to move. It picks up dirt, sand, hair and accidental bits of food and runs right along furniture and walls. Also, you can choose 3 different floor types, which I didn't expect and is very useful. I don't really like that it doesn't turn that well and sometimes it turns when I don't want it to, but it's still pretty easy to manoeuvre. The battery life is about 15-20 minutes. I bought an extra battery when I bought the vacuum and I'm glad I made it so I can finish cleaning in one go. Overall it was a good buy for me and I wasn't disappointed.
