Lightweight and easy to use. Picks up dust and dirt easily, but not as well as expected when dog food and rock salt are occasionally brought into the mud room. It's disappointing that little things like this don't absorb well - especially for a Dyson. Air blows out the sides of the vacuum, which is also a bit annoying when you're leaning forward to move something out of the way and that air is blowing in your face. Otherwise, it usually picks up normal dirt and debris.
