SunSare Cordless Vacuum

Yes. At 5.5 lb it's light and easy to steer, which makes it a grab-and-go stick for crumbs and daily pickups. It's light enough that the floor head can lift on sharp turns in one report, and since it won't stand on its own, you'll need to lean it against a wall when you stop.

It's mixed. On rugs and carpet it can clean well on the upper power settings, but on wall-to-wall carpet some find it only cleans the surface. Hard floors and low-pile rugs are where the SunSare KCV02 is most at home, and the higher settings carpet needs also drain the battery faster.

It depends on the setting. The rating is up to 55 minutes, and on the lowest mode real runs land somewhere around 25-50 minutes. On medium or high, which carpet tends to need, runs of 10-15 minutes come up, and some homes can't be finished on one charge.

Yes, long human hair and dog hair wrap around it. The roller pulls out, though, so clearing it is a quick job instead of a struggle with scissors. With a long-haired dog in the house, expect to do it regularly on the SunSare.

It converts to a handheld for stairs, upholstery and the car, and the extra nozzles get regular use in tight spaces. The lit floor nozzle also shows dust under furniture that's easy to miss. Emptying the 1.5 liter bin and washing the foam filter on the SunSare are both quick.
