Stair cleaning was praised directly, with the reviewer saying it does great on stairs as part of around-the-house use.

Pros: Overall opinion, Price and Value

Stair-cleaning feedback was favorable where the hair screw and smaller tools were used for stairs, furniture, and pet-related jobs.
Pros: Overall opinion, Mopping performance
