I ordered this primarily bc it was cordless since I have handicap issues never expecting it to pick up like a regular vacuum. this eureka cordless vacuum is absolutely amazing! it picks up as well as my dyson ball vacuum! when I emptied the dirt holder it was packed! I am so very very satisfied with the purchase. every time I use it i'm  amazed all over again. I wholeheartedly recommend this vacuum for anyone regardless of physical abilities or disabilities!
