While at first I was thrilled with this little vacuum because it was cordless AND had great suction - I have to update my opinion to it just plain SUCKS. I've only owned it for approximately 10 months and already BOTH batteries are good for absolutely nothing. I usually dust/dry mop my floors and then use the vacuum instead of a dust pan & broom for pickup. That's all I get out of it now is enough power to pick up a small pile of dust and dirt and the battery dies.  What a let down.
