I am very sorry to say that I don't like this product. I liked the idea of buying from a family company that has been in business for awhile. Unfortunately, in this case, it's a business that hasn't evolved its product line.

Specifically...

1) It's loud. I mean -really- loud. The kind of loud that has me wear earplugs to protect my hearing.

2) There's no place to wrap the cord. If they simply extended the horizontal bar on the handle (so that it protruded beyond the vertical posts), it would be easy to wrap the cord around it. This is what I mean about a company not enhancing their product line. How could they not realize the utility of giving the user a way to manage the cord?

3) The bag compartment, and thus the bag, are very small, which means frequent replacement or emptying. Since it only comes with a couple of bags, that gets expensive.

4) The bag compartment is accessed by twisting the front end of the vacuum. Unfortunately, it twists much too easily, like when you're pulling off one of the attachments. Again, I simply don't understand how the company hasn't recognized the problem.

5) From its size and how it's advertised, one gets the idea that this unit is good for vacuuming inside cars or in a shop but, because it's an all metal case (something I originally thought was cool), it's dangerous to use the vacuum near water.

6) I liked the idea of using the vacuum in hard to reach places but, because of its strong exhaust on the back end, it ends up blowing dirt and dust away before I can suck it in.

I thought this unit would be more convenient than using a larger, unwieldy vacuum and hose but, due to everything noted above, it's a bigger hassle than it's worth.

I've been looking for a small vacuum to hang on my shoulder to do

the "dusting" of ALL surfaces in my home and to also vacuum the

cars. Wow, this vacuum is terrific. I have the handy brush tool

for the furniture, etc. and the other tools for other areas.

I rate this at least 10 stars.....love it....M.Sheppard

500-Watt Hi-Performance Hand Vac]

Great little vacuum. Small in size, big in power. This thing is great for the car. Easier to maneuver than a shop vac to clean your car as well as for vacuuming smaller messes around the garage or in the house. So much better than the 12 volt or battery powered vacuums. Great price too! Makes an excellent gift for anyone who likes to maintain their car(s). Comes with the handy attachments and a decent length electrical cord. Hard to go wrong with this vacuum.

nice compact mini vac has great suction, and is perfect for the car and boat.Very well made . Made in the USA.

Small and compact, is ideal for use on cars without the hassle of breaking out the house vacuum cleaner or the shop-vac. Plenty of suction and I have not experienced an over-heat problem.

This is amazing for cleaning the inside of cars... we have 3 kids and all the mess that comes with them and we love this. saves us hundreds in car detailing.
