Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I never thought I would ever gush about a vacuum but this little thing is great. First of all, you can't beat the price for the features. It's really easy to assemble out of the box. Get a screwdriver to attach the handle and hook up the hose and you're done. I want to say it's only about 15lb so while you can't pick it up with one finger, if you can handle a gallon of milk then you'll find it nice and light. It propels itself really well on hard and carpeted floor (just adjust the deck height) and I had no problems with it snagging or having a lot of resistance on a medium to deep pile carpet. I really like that there are no hand controls--incline, power, and cord retraction are all pedals you can operate with one foot. A really nice touch is that the wheels are rubberized to roll on hard floor, so it moves nice and smoothly without clanking and screwing up your floor. The suction is really surprising for a vacuum this size. It almost looks like a toy when you get it set up, but get going and this thing can *suck*. I used this in a new rental that looked pretty clean when we moved in, and it filled the canister on the carpet in one room. This cute little sucker does. not. play. I bought this primarily for hard floor (and it's great for carpet too!), and I could not be happier with its performance. It does a fantastic job picking up both dust and debris, and IT ACTUALLY CLEANS THE EDGES. I didn't think the swivel motion would be that useful, but it is *so* easy to maneuver that you pretty much just have to turn your wrist and you can run it right along the baseboards, where it SUCKS UP EVERYTHING. Yeah, I know it says it has edge bristles and suction, but this is not the first vacuum I've owned to make that claim. It is, however, the first one to actually live up to it. I don't have a pet, but I have a hairy husband that sheds like some dogs, and this thing does a great job. I would definitely recommend this to anyone, pets or no pets.
