We've had our Lupe Pure Cordless for about three weeks now, and I have to say we're very pleased with it. It works fantastically, just like a regular corded upright cleaner, on our lounge carpet. Then really excels on our hard floors where the front roller design works as well as I hoped; sealing in the suction, yet still picking up even larger bits first time, rather than flinging them about like our old cleaner used to. It is then simple and light to lift off the main unit and use the hose on the stairs carpet, this is the only time I've found it worthwhile to use the high power setting. Added to this performance is the bonus of Lupe's refreshing company ethos of future proofing their machine; making it repairable and potentially upgradeable. Really pleased so far.
