I like the way this little vacuum handles. i have a Bissell 3 in our condo in Florida. This one works just as well. Only wish this one had as long a cord as my other one.
While the suction power is fairly good, this is a poorly designed lightweight vacuum. When emptying the dirt container, the filter (attached to the vacuum) is exposed, causing dirt and debris to fall onto the floor. Because the filter and container are two separate pieces, two hands are required to hold each piece, making it extremely awkward to prevent the debris from falling away from the filter. There is also no other way to remove the filter for cleaning without getting dirt and debris all over hands and clothing. When not in use, it will not stand upright with or without the floor nozzle attached, causing it to fall over frequently. The location of the cord on the back of the vacuum makes it awkward to loop the cord around the cord wraps. I find myself filthy and frustrated each time I use the Featherweight vacuum.

I love this sweeper. This is my second one (I wore my last one out). I use it on my ceramic tile floor and hardwood floors. It's so easy to just grab this, plug it in and your on your way and done in no time. Easy to empty and stores conveniently. I purchased this one on-line and had it in 3 days with free shipping! I will always have one of these in my home.
I have bought so many of these little Stick Vacuums, I have one on each level of my home, have given one to each of my three grown children, and buy them for friends as gifts. Everyone loves them, and they do a GREAT job, especially on wood, tile, & vinyl floors. They even work well on area rugs. I am a big fan.
I watched, as this product was used on a TV, I thought it looked like it could do the trick. We just remolded our kitchen, I wanted to use something that would not harm the new floor or my hard wood floors. So, I went to a local store, I bought the FeatherWeight Vacuum. I love it. It is the greatest little Vacuum I ever bought. I even told my relatives about it and they have it too. I use this all the time for everything. Thank you
Really like this model. Even though it is not cordless. I had bought a Bissell 3 n 1 vac before and loved it. ( it had a longer cord than this one). But they both are very powerful for there size and convenient . I bought model 29h3 ( cordless one) it is not as poweful. The handle is made to collapse to fit under furniture . Now it collapses all the time. Not powerful. I will stick to this one. Just wish cord was longer . Definetly recommend this one.
