Hand Held Works great, Upright Not So Great
I bought this just to use while my hoover was being repaired. It worked great at first! It was easy to use in small places my large vacuum could not reach and seemed to suck pretty well for a small vacuum. That was for the first 3 months. Now I can not get the upright part to suck up anything. The hand held still works great but just doesn't seem to work when attached to upright. Now it is going to the repair shop! It has been used on a weekly basis, just to let you know how much wear and tear it can take. It has been more convient than my large vacuum until the upright part broke.

Meets my expectations
I bought this to replace a broken shark stick vac. My requirements were: it had to be cordless and it had to convert to a hand vac. There are only a few models out that meet those requirements. My research led me to this one and I went with it due to overall value.

So far, I am very happy with this vacuum. It is not a whole house vacuum, so don't expect it to perform that way. For a stick vac, it has a lot of power and does a good job quick cleaning the hard kitchen floor, carpet, and stairs. It has a rough time with sticky rice or pasta on the kitchen floor (little kids don't always keep everything on their plates), but normally if I switch to use the brush rather than just suction it will pick that kind of stuff up with a couple passes. That's the only reason I didn't rate it a 5. I expected this to be an issue, so it doesn't bother me much. I also like being able to take off the hand vac portion only to quick clean the Cheerios and other items out of the cars! Hanging hook is a nice feature to quickly and conveniently store out of the way.

Make sure you follow the instruction out of the box. Charge for 16 hours+ before using, drain battery all the way to empty before plugging in again (even though you will lose some power before it drains completely, let it drain all the way until it's dead), and then plug in after every time you use it. I easily got 20 minutes out of the first charge and have been plugging the vac in every time after using since then so we always have full power available. Also, make sure you empty the canister after every use to keep it clean. Emptying takes less than 10 seconds.

We've only had this for about a month, but so far I am very happy with the features, power, and overall purchase. Hopefully it continues to perform well for many years.

Ready to buy my third
I am about to buy my third vac. We use it for just about daily clean ups in the bathroom. It sticks away in the corner and it's quick and easy for quick cleans of the floor and rugs. Just about after owning it for about 2 years, the battery will not hold a charge any more. For 2 years, it works great. I am about to buy my third unless I can find a better replacement product. For the person who said it doesn't hold a charge, I am guessing it's over 2 years old or it wasn't charged right through out it's life. I have had two of them and they both acted fine for 2 years.
