With four cats in the house, the vacuum cleaner doesn't always get up everything. I was surprised and pleased to see what the Flair picks up from corners and hard-to-reach places.It would be good if the Flair had the ability to stand upright by itself when left momentarily during the cleaning cycle. It can be awkward trying to find a place to prop it up against when I don't want to return it to its hook in the closet.
