The suction of the vacuum cleaner is generally good. However, there are two settings from low to high suction and a low setting that doesn't pull much. So you're stuck with maximum settings, which will drain your battery FAST. Runs around 12 minutes on high setting and takes around 4 hours to charge. So if you want to vacuum a standard size room, it will take you some time because you have to charge it. Another big problem is the actual head brush of the vacuum cleaner. The brush head isn't heavy at all, so when vacuuming, the head moves up as you pull it back, defeating the purpose of a vacuum. Will return.
