Iv owned the expensive brand and this is on par with them . The lights so you dust and dirt you would never of seen , it’s actually easier to vacuum in the pitch black because the lights on the front of the vacuum throws . A shadow of whatever dirt dust is in its way. I have a four bedroom house with hybrid hard floors through the whole thing and I haven’t even used half the battery vacuuming. This thing is brilliant and I would not hesitate to buy another one 10 out of 10..
