I have to comment that this is one of the best investments I have ever made! The fact that it is 'cordless' is an even greater bonus. I can literally start at one end of the house and clean the vinyl in the kitchen, tile in the bathroom and the laminate flooring in the livingroom and bedrooms with no worry about cords or getting out yet another machine or mop to finish the job - it's all in one great package. I have been using your products for over 25 years, from hand vacs to steam machines and vacuums (my husband calls me a vacuum cleaner junkie). Kudos to you for making my housework just a little bit easier! Now I'm about to ask 'Santa for your new steam mop - sure hope it's as good as the flip vac!
