Bottom line ... this is a great little machine that does the work it's meant to do. I used this machine for a solid 45 minutes while vacuuming two entire floors of my home - including stairs - one of the best parts was that this machine did not over-heat as with other 'bagless' vacuums I've purchased in the recent past (which were put out into the garbage!).

I could see that the vacuum was performing from the dust and debris that was entering the dirt cup. My home has all hardwood floors with a "mud" throw at the various entrances. The vacuum works great on hardwood surfaces and also did a nice job on the thin non-slip entrance rugs. Assmebly was a snap ... literally. The vacuum is VERY lightweight which is a big plus in preventing scratches on hardwood. This vacuum also has a very quiet motor - you can actually hear the phone and/or doorbell while you're running the vacuum!

Although I'm happy with my purchase and believe this is a great little machine, I do have a couple of "CONS" but nothing that would have made me change my mind in purchasing this item had I known ahead of time about them ... (1) the cord is very short, but hey ... that's what extension cords are for, and (2) I was used to having that little 'hang-up' hole on the vacuum handle to be able to suspend the vacuum on a utility rack - this vacuum does not have that feature. I improvised and added a little leather luggage strap around the handle, and solved that 'dilemna'. Great little vacuum and a great little price!

It may seem that this vacuum cleaner costs less than others but it's definitely not worth it, even as a children's vacuum.
It is very noisy for its size, and you'll have a lot of trouble cleaning the filter - all of the dirt gets on the filter and one has to breathe a lot of dust after opening the cleaner.
I could go on with disadvantages until tomorrow, but instead, take more $$ and get yourself a decent vacuum!

I bought this to clean cat litter off of carpet squares and bare floor tile. At first, it did what I bought it for, but just barely. After about two weeks, it began to act like it was full even though it wasn't and would leave a pile of cat litter when shut off. Maybe the filter was clogged, but it looked fine me.

Does it make noise? Yes. It's a vacuum cleaner, so what would one expect? It cleans well and doesn't heat up quickly. It is easy to empty. Also, it has an attachment for cleaning corners, windowsills, and etc. I even use it to clean the kitchen, which has wooden flooring. I would recommend this for apartments, where there isn't much to vacuum. Honestly, people tend not to have "common sense." If a person's house is 3000 square feet, he/she shouldn't get this. It's small but gets the job done for a small place.

great for people who hate dragging out the monster vacs, use it daily, lightweight just love it

It's a great size for our one bedroom apartment. I didn't need anything "industrial strength." It's not loud at all and it easily fits in the closet. It would also be nice for quick pick ups for larger spaces. My only complaint is the dust bin - I'm allergic to dust, so really my husband's complaint is that he has to empty it.

Its not a bad product, but it could be better. It's not very strong and does not work well on thick rugs regardless of the area size. It's good for floor mats, small area rugs, runners, maybe ever hard floors, but not for room carpeting.

I have a lot of pets, mostly birds, and two kids, so vacuuming is something I have to do several times a day. I picked up one of these for $25 and it is great. It picks up the bird debris that tends to get tracked around the house, gets the little tufts of dog and cat hair, and the crumbs my kids leave around.

I still whip out my big Kenmore vacuum once a week to do the deep vacuuming, but for the daily pickup, this is much easier. I just keep it plugged in, standing up beside the bird cages and give the floor a quick swipe a few times a day. I wouldn't recommend it for heavy duty cleaning, but for daily tidying it is a lovely little machine that gets the job done.

I love this vacuum saw a friend with one and had to have it.
it's great for easy cleaning especially in kitchen and hardwood. easy to clean and maintain

This is a nice vacuum. It was inexpensive but works fine. I have a studio apartment and this is more than adequate for my needs. No messy bag to throw away. That's nice for the environment. If you get this for a small apartment you will be happy with it.
