Powerful for small vac. Fits in car when traveling. Use in car with a.c. converter which costs about $30 and plugs in lighter. Works on carpet ok - wish it had brush on floor attachment. Improvements would be: 1. edge attachment needs lip so it does mot get stuck in unit. 2. Make on off switch more distinguished from basket latch and make basket latch more foolproof. I sometimes make a mess when I go to shut off. 3. Have edge attachment double as clean out tool. Serrate upper end.
Line cord power no battery fade, effective. We find that using this unit almost eliminates the need for regular use of a bigger machine. What an exceptional machine.
I have a robot vac for 'dusting' and damp mopping, and one for major vacuuming, as I have cats and tile floors. I needed a lightweight vac for keeping the litter box area free of spilled dusty particles and for a quick vac without starting up the 'bots. I have no need for large heavy-duty and expensive vacuums, as I have small floor areas and no carpeting that aren't conducive for big machines. This vac is perfect for my needs and gets used on average twice a day to keep the litter particles from 'traveling' all over the house. I can also do a quick vac in closets and garage floor. It does exactly what it should for a small incidental machine.
I bought this because I was sick of sweeping my hardwood floors then mopping them, only to see dirt and residue left behind. I have hardwood and area rugs downstairs and then carpet up my stairs and all upstairs. I love this vacuum! I have two black labs and their hair is everywhere!! But, this vacuum gets everything and is so lightweight. The positives about this vacuum would be it's lightweight, easy to use and I have no issues going from hardwood to area rug. I also love the attachment to get into hard to reach places. The negatives would be that the cord is somewhat short (not a huge issue though), that I have to empty it quite a bit (which this vacuum isn't meant for big jobs anyways) and it didn't do well on my carpet upstairs. I'm not sure why but even when I emptied the canister and cleaned the filter, the vacuum didn't pick up that well on my stairs. Overall, I love this vacuum for my hardwood and area rugs- I can do a quick cleanup without lugging around a heavy vacuum or sweeping which didn't pick up everything. It did a fabulous job on my hardwood, linoleum flooring, and area rugs. The regular caroeting upstairs- not so great but I use my Shark vacuum upstairs and I'm fine with that. I have recommended this to my family and friends as it is lightweight and easy to use.
