vacuums well, but a plastic part broke after warranty that should not have for this priceoverall I like the vacuum alot. It sucks up the dirt, is light weight and maneuverable, i dont use it often enough to comment on charging time. negative is I laid the vacuum down on the floor one time, not dropping it and a plastic part broke. no justification for this. The replacement part is almost $100. I appealed to the manufacturer, several times, who blew me off with canned answers from Customer service folks. Thanked me for my "valuable input."I feel that if I pay that much for a vacuum it should be studier. I had a $60 vacuum from WalMart that had sturdier pieces than this. I purchased this vacuum and paid more for quality and durability.1
