Cordless is the way to go! This is the best product I have purchased in 2020. It is lightweight and very easy to handle. Since it is cordless, I can quickly grab it to clean up small spills or messes. It works for everyday cleaning when I vacuum the entire house. It is great for picking up dog hair and the handle detaches for furniture and car cleaning. The battery is removable to charge and lasts about 40 minutes.
