I was very afraid to buy this cordless vacuum cleaner because I had never heard of this brand before but after reading other reviews I decided to buy it. And I'm so happy I did! Of course I've only had it for about a week, even my opinion may change in the future, but so far I've only had positive experiences. One of my favorite things about this vacuum cleaner is that it's very quiet, it's quiet enough that I can use it during my kids naps. The bumper around the base of the vacuum is great to avoid scratching the wooden floor when I'm using it. And it is so light that even children can help me with this vacuum cleaner. You can use and slide it easily.
