This is a powerful stick vacuum cleaner. All the weight is distributed at the handle for an ergonomic feel and ease of manuvering the head. Easy dump bin and two washable reusable filters are included. Also is the crevice head and upholstery head with a telescopic tube extender. It also has a easy flip switch on the head for engagement or disengagement of the brush for hard floors and carpet. It is an attractive blue color as well. Plenty of cord to get the coverage without repluging over and over. The best part is that it's very affordable. So affordable you can purchase two so one upstairs and one down so you don't have to carry it on the steps. I'm am very pleased with it's performance and can highly recommend this vacuum cleaner.
