I live in a small space - an RV. It's like a small apartment, and this vacuum is just perfect. Very strong suction, light-weight and easy to store. The hose comes apart in different lengths with a round brush and other usual attachments. If it ever wears out, which I doubt, i would get another one. I've had many yucky cleaners and am simply euphoric with this one. I've had it for nearly a year, use it outside on outside carpet, in my cars as well as inside. It's had a good workout.
