There are things to like and not like about this vacuum. I love that you can replace parts, that it is cordless, and it is light-weight. I wish there was a wide-mouth part that could be used at the end of the extension for vacuuming under the sofa or a bookshelf. I wish it had a light on the front to illuminate the floor, maybe with an on/off switch for power saving. I wish it turned on with the brush blades off. Lastly, the brush blades are not good on thick rugs, they always get stuck and i have to turn the power on/off to restart them, and conversely not good on very thin rugs, for some reason it has a hard time sucking up debris, and the suction power is often times too powerful for the area rug. In some ways, I like it and I don't like it. I bought it to replace a cord-powered Shark that we loved. We got interested in cordless and specifically the Lupe, because I hate the idea of having to toss a whole vacuum cleaner away every 3-4 years because a basic part has gone bad.
