Like the light weight, cordless convenience, convertibility, and relative quiet operation. Not as powerful as our last dust buster, but very convenient. Power-brush-cleaned the carpeted stairway surfaces with the upright as I ascended, then removed the hand-held portion and cleaned the joint crevices on the way back down. The power-brush fits nicely under the rails and the unit is rather lightweight, so vacuuming the whole stair surface was easy, and the pull-out crevice tool on the hand-held was very convenient. In addition to the stairs, I vacuumed the downstairs area rug and all of the most obvious areas of the whole house (tile flooring downstairs, carpet upstairs), then sucked up about a dozen live flies on the sliding glass doors and several cobwebs from the ceilings--and still no sign of the motor slowing down. No idea how durable the unit or the battery are yet, but if good, I'll be willing to purchase the replacement battery when the time comes. Only negative so far: debris can get stuck in the neck of the power-brush unit--but it's easily removed with the push of a button, and then you just reach in with fingers or pliers and pull the debris out. Haven't really found a need for the 2-way fold-ability of the handle yet, but maybe because I keep forgetting to try it out.
