I needed a good handheld vacuum for my stairs and was glad to see this vacuum as it has a turbo brush and I have cats. I was so disappointed. The second time I used it the brush stopped spinning and despite cleaning the brush head it still didn't spin. I contacted the seller and he sent me a new vacuum cleaner. I had the same experience with this one and I'm ready to just throw it away. I also noticed that the pockets are quite small, so maintaining them isn't cheap.
