Just what I was looking for. I have wood floor kitchen and the rest of house carpeting  I am elderly and this little guy is real handy at sweeping my kitchen and spot vacuuming my carpet especially with having 2 cats in house. Hate dragging out my regular vac for small jobs. It does a really good job with floor and carpet. I have not had to switch out the spare battery as the power in one is sufficient for light jobs. The filter is very snug and takes a little practice to reseat itself so have to be careful  when reseating so as not to damage the seal. I did purchase an extra filter when I bought the vac  so as to have a filter on hand in the future. the ability to use this as a hand vacuum is nice. I plan on using that on my basement stairs.
