Bought there over 9 years (!), This vacuum cleaner takes tjrs the road because of daily use (such as garbage collection / dustpan after scan for the kitchen and bathroom), and a weekly use on furniture / corner / stairs. For best performance, empty frequently, and wash the filter when it becomes dirty (1-2 times for a use described here). We can do better for the price. (For comparison, my Ergorapido, 7 times more expensive, a "good" running for about 18 months, after which it would have taken to replace the batteries (which represents 50% of the original purchase price!)). HOWEVER, it is VERY noisy !! Provide something to protect your ears!
