4.0 out of 5 stars Handy little vac, September 25, 2007

I bought this because I know some professional cleaners who use it, and I carry it around the house for carpeted steps where my big vac can't go. It's also great on hard surfaces like bathroom tile and wood floor. Once in awhile I haul it to the garage for the car because the attachments are small enough for crevices, but it's no shopvac and that is a hard cleaning job. For actual carpet I use my big vac, it's much more powerful. This is a good little machine but I don't think it's possible to get the same suction as you get in a big one. But, it's super for the steps and getting around the bathroom tile in the small spaces. I am going to look for disposable bags, the cloth one does fill up quickly, it's easy enough to change, but I think having a spare would be good. You can wash the filter in the machine after you shake off most of the gunk.

My place is mostly hardwood floors with some area rugs. I got sick of dragging a canister behind me, banging into stuff, tipping over, etc. This fits on my shoulder, and with the long cord, it makes vacuuming so much easier. I kept my big vacuum for occasional beater bar cleaning of my rugs, but I routinely vacuum the rugs with this little gem as well. I really like this vacuum -- it does a great job and is a real time saver.

I don't know why the tag says "Maytag." It's a Hoover, and it's been around for a long time.

Pros:
- Great suction
- Sturdy but lightweight metal wands that don't accidentally come apart
- Attachments that don't fall off the wands
- Really long cord -- I can vacuum my entire condo from the same outlet
- Reusable and washable bag with an option for using paper bags

Cons:
- No cord reel -- adding one would make the unit bigger and heavier -- they give you a handy strap to hold the cord on the vacuum for storage
- No on-board attachment storage -- again, adding one would make the unit bigger and heavier -- I just keep my attachments in a small tote bag
- 1970's styling -- this is either a "pro" or a "con" depending on how you look at it.

The unit is small and very portable, but yet has very good cleaning power. My home is primarily hard wood floors and with having three cats, two dogs and three children a lot of dust is produced. I highly recommend!
