This little machine has all the power you need for hard floors and easy pickups on rugs and doormats, corners of rooms that a broom even has trouble getting into. A great handvac feature with a tool attachment too is helpful for above floor cleaning. Simple trash emptying is great for those in a hurry. The machine is not as noisy as I would expect for all the power is has as well.
I have never had a vacuum with such a short cord, nor have any of them had a restriction to not use with an extension cord. My house is not large, but I have to move the plug three times just to clean my kitchen, hallway and bathroom. The unit is lightweight and easy to use for floors, but not user friendly. I purchased it mainly to do quick pickups on my bare floors.
Purchased this small stick vacuum to use between heavy vacuuming chores throughout the house. Works really well on pet hairs, dust bunnies, hair, crumbs, etc, even on hardwood and tile floors. The price is unbeatable, the versatility is unsurpassed, considering the light weight, the pull-apart option to use as a hand vac, and even includes a crevice tool for smaller places. I even used it to clean up flower petals and seed droppings around a vase on my tablecloth. Amazing!
I purchased this online with the intent of using it on my dining area rug. I ended up using it for my entry way and entry steps, sofa, fridge vent, under the stove, alongside the baseboards in the kitchen.. and the dining area rug. It's actually pretty powerful for how small it is. The cord could be longer and the unit itself could be much quieter but for the price I paid and how well it does perform, I can live with it's loudness. I also use this one on the bathroom rugs to get up hair and makeup dust from the teens.
