Strong suction, easy emptying of the bin, lightweight, battery life as stated in the specifications, and the pet hair attachment is very satisfactory (as expected, it is designed to work on solid fabrics, if the fabrics are loose they get sucked into the wheel and block it). However, despite being B&D, the build quality is not what you would expect, the plastics and their "fastenings" create the feeling that they are delicate (time will tell), and you have the same feeling about the quality of the filters.
