These Mighty Mites really are mighty. This is my second one. The only thing I would change is to have a longer cord and additional head for hardwood/laminate/tile surfaces. A friend told me about a large brush attachment that works for laminate floors that fits the Mighty Mite. It glides smoothly across the floor and picks up hair better than the regular one that comes with the Mighty Mite. I found one locally at a vacuum store but they sell one of Amazon as well.
