Wish I had purchased it sooner!

This vac is remarkable. It is light weight, has no cord to trip over, and with all the accessories can clean just about anything. While running in normal power it's almost silent. The next 2 power modes are like a turbo and a super turbo. This vac will reach into, under or up high to grab dirt and dust from anywhere. It is designed to lean to you like a regular vac causing no undue strain. It works on any surface: carpet, tile, wood and even fabrics. The hard floor attachment has a soft rotating brush and slim runners to prevent scratches giving it a feel like gliding across the floor. The extension tube expands to fit your comfort, and the pieces snap together with ease and release just the same. The only downfall is the size of the collecting tank. It's small; emptying it often is required. The quick release of the tank makes dumping easy. This vac comes with 2 batteries so running out of juice won't happen. The wall mount/free standing charging station gives the ability to store and recharge easily. I would recommend it to anyone with stairs, a condo or apt. or even a small office. Not that it couldn't handle large areas, but the tank will need to be emptied often. I love it.
