What a handy vacuum to have. I live in a tri-level house and lugging the big vacuum up and down the stairs drove me nuts. Now I have thislittle gadget handy to vacuum the dining room and kitchen tile floors and throw rugs. Anyone with grandchildren knows the crumbs they leavebehind in the kitchen and this takes care of that and more. I researched for a while before deciding on this one based on customer reviews.I am happy that I got it!! It's easy to clean and the extra battery is a great bonus.
