Reading some of these reviews, you wouldn't think they were talking about the same sweeper. People either give it five stars or one star. I bought this just to pick up dog hair in the kitchen and laundry room. The suction was terrible and the sweeper was messy to empty. I was so disappointed that I returned it after three days use.The Eureka 96B Boss Lite is the same price as the Bissell Go Vac, and it has amazing suction and battery life. I highly recommend the Eureka 96B Boss Lite instead of the Bissell Go Vac.
