I bought this to use on my porcelain floor in my kitchen and dining room. I pull it out of the closet, pop in the battery and have the floor done in 5 minutes. It's light weight and easy to maneuver between chairs and under the table. It is powerful and when done, I just pop out the battery, drop it into the recharger and it's ready to go on the next morning. This vacuum is so convenient and easy to use. I LOVE IT!
