The truth is, no vacuum is perfect, and you need more than one: for different purposes and for each floor.My old Eureka sucked well but was heavy to drag, hard to store or use on stairs.Oreck's extra long cord was a big plus but it didn't fit under all furniture, and finally broke down.Roomba was great for cat hair but had too many downsides for me.Handheld Dyson is still my go-to for cleaning my car, furniture, and cleaning after small projects.Review after 9 months of use:PROS:-Beautiful and thoughtful design-Easy to store-Slides under all my furniture-great suction-Cordless is so convenient-Lightweight-Transparent dust bin-No vacuum bags!!!-Easy to empty out the dust bin-Light shows the dust-Good plastic material, not flimsy-Suction feature, etc.CONS:-There are only 2 attachments and I wish the brush was softer and denser, but I can use my hand-held Dyson when cleaning window sills and small corners needing attachments.I use my LG stick at the power setting just below Max, and it lasts me 30-40 minutes. I have a 1500 sq. ft. single-story house with hardwood floor and rugs. After getting the LG stick vac, I began vacuuming the house in portions because of the charge time, but it turned out to be a benefit not a deficit. Each charge allows me to clean half of my house, and vacuuming is no longer a dreadful chore. It feels and looks like a luxury item without the brand name price tag. I handle it with care because it does such a nice job, and I want it to last. I empty out the dust bin manually after each use to keep it clean.
