5.0 out of 5 stars just what I wanted!, May 11, 2009

I have been looking for a portable vacuum for my home for some time. We have hardwood and tile and was disappointed with the other canister vacuums we have used. Finding bags was a real hassle, the tools were cheaply made, the hoses were plastic, the cords too short ect. This vacuum is powerful, not to loud and is high quality. Metal wands,durable flexible hose and tools that are well made. The hose,wands and tools attach with ease and stay connected! I love the fact that you can hang it on your shoulder while cleaning versus of dragging it behind you and it tipping over. The long heavy duty cord is great because you can move about without having to constantly find an outlet. It comes with a reusable cloth bag which is a huge plus. One of the upholstery brushes (you get two)has a rubber comb along with soft brushes and it picked up the cat hair from our sofa with one swipe! I like that it doubles as a blower to keep my outdoor patio free of debris. Although it is tagged as a commercial vacuum, I highly recommend it for general home use!

This is a great vacuum for overall cleaning around the house. I love that it comes with all the attachments that you could possibly need (crevice tool, hard surface floor brush, dusting brush, and more). I was searching for a vacuum to clean my hardwood floors because sweeping and dusting just wasn't picking up all the debris. And I swept everyday because my 2 toddlers play and crawl on the floors. I researched stick vacuums, but they just didn't seem to have enough suction power. I also looked at canister vacuums, but some were quite expensive and I wasn't sure if I wanted to drag a canister along my new hardwood floors. I considered getting a small ShopVac because I know they're pretty powerful, but they didn't come with a brush attachment for cleaning hardwood surfaces. Somewhere in my search on the web, I came across the Portapower. It was portable, light, and it came with 5 different nozzles and 2 wands. Plus, the reviewers commented that it was powerful. The price was right and I was sold. I used it yesterday for the first time and was very impressed. The only negative comment I have is that the machine is not very attractive. It's just a little black box that you can strap to your shoulder with a long orange electrical cord. But who really cares, right? It does its job great!

5.0 out of 5 stars If you have hard surface floors, buy this vacuum!, December 1, 2008

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 over 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.

Pros:

- Great suction

- Sturdy but lightweight metal wands that don't accidentally come apart

- Attachments that don't fall off the wand

- 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.
