Powerful and light

First of all I found the vacuum so light to hold. It's small yet it definitely has great power. I love that you don't have to hold a power button but instead just a press on and off, much better. The 3 power settings are good and it shows how much time you have left. The cylinder holds an awful lot of dust & dirt and the battery lasts a long time.
