Powerful, but the brush head is weak!
I loved this little vacuum, but had to replace the brush head twice, and it still didn't last. Very disappointed. : (
amazing vacuum
this vacuum is inredibly powerful. Loved it so much I bought 2. Filter is easy to clean nice accesories and blower feature is cool. Very powerful best vacuum.
Disappointed
I bought this to clean up dog hair on furniture. (My dog is an Aussie/Golden mix with lots of long hair.) I used it on my couch, but I had to go back over it with the hand tools on my bulky upright to get rid of all the dog hair. Maybe it works better for short-haired pets. As for general use (other than dog hair), my cordless dustbuster works just as well as this one, without the hassle of a cord.
Not for picking up ash.
I purchased this unit based on reviews and that it is corded (more power). Well I pluged it in and it worked for about 1 minutes worth of vacuuming up ash from my pellet stove. It quickly over heated and shut down. I returned it and am now looking for a different, good hand held vacuum.
Uncontrollable
It has a powerful motor with high suction. Unfortunately the position of such a motor in a light, handheld device creates a tremendous gyroscopic effect. The thing always wants to move in a different direction than you want it to. It's like the thing is alive and fighting you. Extraordinarily irritating and inconvenient. Definitely NOT recommended. I am sending mine back.
Not as good as I had hoped
I purchased this corded handheld vacumn because another brand unit my wife had had for many years finally wore out. This unit has proved to be a disapointment because of the egeronomics of it. this actual brush/cleaning head is so far from the handle that it puts a large amount of stress on your wrist and tires you out quickly. Also the dirt collection chamger is awkward to open and close and too small so it needs to be emptied often. It does clean but with so many problem I cannot recommend it to others.
