After researching many different cordless vacuum options, I decided to give this one a try. My decision was based on previous customer reviews along with the various options on how the vacuum can be used plus the tools that were included. It's difficult to find a reasonably priced cordless vacuum that actually works, but this one fits the bill. I bought this primarily to clean a rubber gym floor, but discovered that it works fantastic on wood floors, allowing me to clean under furniture where an upright vacuum can never reach. The only downside to a cordless vacuum is the battery life. I generally use this on the higher power so the battery doesn't last as long, but it does last long enough to vacuum all of our wood floors.I like all of the various ways this can be used, from a regular stick vacuum to a handheld, it's easy to convert to whatever length or use you need. And the attachments make getting into tight spaces super easy. It's lightweight and doesn't hurt my back like using an upright does. The canister is easy to remove and empty and we've installed the mount on the wall which allows us to hang the vacuum and tools for out of the way storage.I like this so much that I may buy another one so that I can keep one inside the house and in the barn outside where we have our gym. If you're looking for a cordless vacuum, this one is worth the purchase.
