I initally purchased this little Shark to clean my four flights of carpeted stairs. During one of my many trips from Virginia to NY I decided to take my Shark with me and it worked out great. Now after a long drive or after a little spill in the van I just clean it up with my vacuum. My favorite feature is the rotating brush attachment. It picks up the typical dirt from kids and it's easy to clean. The other attachments work great in small areas and in automobiles. If you remember that it's great for small areas and you will be happy with your purchase.
