I am very pleased with this little vacuum! We recently installed brand new hardwood floors in the first level of our house and our original vacuum was beginning to damage the finish (and has since been banished to the carpeted upstairs) so we had to look in to buying a new vacuum good for hardwood floors. After quite a bit of searching and comparing different brands and models we settled on the Mighty Mite. The positive reviews, and the incredibly low price, made it seem just too good to be true, but we decided to go for it anyways and we're so glad that we did.
