Great vacuum for bare floors
This corded vacuum works great on our hardwood floors and a few area rugs. It is light weight, has good suction, and is able to easily go under furniture. The attachments work well for dusting or long reaches. The cord is long so the vacuum goes easily from room to room with no plug-in change. I can't believe the low price for this small but mighty vacuum. The one drawback is the cord is not retractable, but winds on the bottom of the vac which is inconvenient. So I bundle it and use a strong twisty tie to keep it together, and the cord lies next to the vac in the closet. That works fine considering all the other pluses of this vacuum. It is a great replacement for our old cannister Electrolux and works about as well!

Love this vacuum!
What a great vacuum! I have purchased 3 of these and they have great suction, are easy to roll, and last long. And easy to change bag. Highly recommend!

Loud but powerful, not made in China like Eureka! (Made in Mexico, better)
Powerful enough for pulling cat litter out of grooved hardwood floors, hurray! Lightweight enough to carry around, swap heads easily from hardwood to smaller car-type-attachment for thicker spills, a great little vacuum. I had bought the similar Eureka and it broke in no time, what junk that was, and I had believed in Eureka for so so long! No longer, so I went searching for something made NOT in China. I found this, and decided to gamble on it, for my hardwood floors with dogs and cats and stairs and ranch life messes. It works perfectly for all of this. Around my litter-box "furniture"the litter spills out and into the hardwood. This sucks it all right up, though I usually change to the smaller "concentrated power" head for that (like for car floorboards). I can carry it easily, it is light weight. It does seem to be all plastic, that is both disappointing and a benefit to making it light weight. I will be surprised though if it lasts 5 years, if it does I will update! I am very happy with this machine, it does the job, fast to change bags. If anyone can recommend a made in USA or Europe vacuum like this one, please write a headline in all caps telling us!

This Vacuum Doesn't Suck! But in a GOOD WAY!
I like this a lot. It has strong suction, sturdy accessories, an expandable wand for reaching high places (vacuuming dust off the top of curtains and rods). It has a great crevice tools that gets into the corners of the window sill and other tight places. It is light enough to hold with one hand, even for my wife. She doesn't like that it lacks motorized wheels in the brush head to help move it along the carpet on the stairs, but its is still easier to use than balancing the upright vacuum on the stairs. I am keeping the vacuum in the impending divorce, she doesn't appreciate nice things!

The best lightweight vacuum on the market
The best money I've spent on Amazon. It is loud but it really cleans. I can pickup this small lightweight vacuum and carry it up and down my stairs with no problem. I'm in my 70s and this is important. Really long cord is great. My husband will steal it to clean his truck.

Best minivac I've used
These minivacs are the best, crazy good suction, the bag is better than the can.

Cannister vac
Works ok. Wand keeps coming apart when vacuuming. Needs a retractable cord (not wrap one).

Good vacuum for the price
Compact. Light weight. Powerful moter. Good at picking up sand. I live by a beach. I've been using this brand and model for years cleaning houses. I love this little vacuum.

Been using for 4 weeks now and had to change the bag once so far. Great suction! Use it everyday 1-2 times a day for whole main floor. Not a vacuum for carpets but we do have inside/outside carpet and it does a decent job on it.

These are awesome….compact, portable….I bought 2, and also gave 2 away as gifts. Even got away with giving it to her for Xmas….its that good! And with the strap you can easily toss it over your shoulder & climb a ladder….so light & easy to pack around makes it very versatile.

We use it professionally because ALL backpack vacuums were creating back problems.

I wish it had more suction power, but the thing is admittedly lightweight which is a huge benefit if you care about keeping your vacuum portable.
