I bought this vacuum after deciding that I didn't want to spend $50 + shipping to get a new battery for my Roomba. The Eureka is okay. Lightweight, yes, so that's good. But do note: this version purchased at Sears does not include an extra battery pack as some of the other reviewers mentioned, so that was a bit of a disappointment.

It is adequate for a quick clean-up, which is what it is intended for. However, when it comes to random bits of cat litter, I had to go over a couple of pieces several times to finally pick them up.

It was great in the bathroom to quickly clean up stray hairs left behind by 3 people and 3 cats!

My husband does not think the battery will last all that long and we'll end up buying a new one in the not too distant future. Can't say for sure, but will update once we get to that point.Get more detail about Eureka 96 B Quick Up Upright Cordless Stick Vacuum.
