i got this for my elderly grandfather, he isnt able to move or lift as he used to, this lightweight cordless easy to use hoover, will help him keep his little area clean without relying on others to everyday, retain a little of his independence, it is pefect for what i have bought for, the suction can handle few toast crumbs etc that will be used for, dont expect a dyson suction but for what it can works well, and good value hoover
