Not ALL cordless vacuum products are junk. The govac was junk because it was terrible at picking up and it did had a problem with scattering dirt when it comes to hard floors. The Shark that my parents also used to have was WAY better on picking up and didn't scatter dirt around compare to the govac. The batteries on both were alright but they aren't meant to last. One of the DustBusters that we used to have had batteries that were replaceable. And Tacony made a huge splash in the cordless vacuum industry, their cordless models are unbelievable.
