Really Sucks, Get Two Batteries
Yes I have a good corded vacuum that really sucks, but I have to use an extension cord to get around the house and it isn't very nimble. I also have a cheap cordless that had pretty good reviews, and that is okay for surface debris but it isn't very strong, especially the carpet brush, which slows down. But this V15 pulled so much dirt out of the carpet I had to empty it quite a few times while I vacuumed the Entire House, including under the couch, bed, tables, places the big corded vacuum won't go...it is very nimble. Fortunately it empties easily, I just emptied it outside on the grass (well country living has benefits). Otherwise I think I would cut a piece of cardboard to put over a waste basket, cut a hole in it, and empty it that way to avoid dust. I had to use the second battery only half way through this process. I have a mix of carpet and ceramic tile floors, and the Auto Suck feature adjusts between them, not bogging down on the carpet or wasting too much energy on the smooth floor. It is manually adjustable if you don't like Auto Suck. I bought a 3rd party flexible hose (6') to clean difficult places easier. I used the short power bar thing on the car seats and carpet which worked well. Pricey unit, and I put it off a long time, but I rather like it. Note: The V15 Pro model Doesn't have the laser in front like the V15 cheaper one, so no light at all... Too many models and features to keep track of. Read more
