I use my Ionvac in my own home, at our business, and in my cleaning business. It is so handy to be able to have everything hand held this way. I do have a larger vacuum that I use at times, but this is always in my arsenal of cleaning tools. I use the short handle with the floor attachment to help refresher my mattresses and furniture too. It’s helped to take away some of our allergy symptoms in the house because I’m able to get into all the small spaces and take it places a normal vacuum can’t go.
