Handy And Inexpensive Hand-Vacuum 
With four energetic Labrador Retrievers banging around my house, there is no end to the dust and dirt I have to scoop up on a regular basis. But with devices like this for the stairs and hard to get to places, cleaning up after my four best friends is now easier than ever. The stairs seem to always have dog hair on them, especially this time of the year, with the dogs shedding their coats in anticipation of the colder weather to come. So almost every evening I let them oput back to chase each other while I vacuum the stairs, hallway, and then the main area downstairs in the living room and family room, where we spend most our time. WHile I use a commercial vacuum for the living area, I can use this light, bagless, and quick handy-vac to scoop up the acculumated dettritus of the day on the stairs. Its'relatively small size means it's perfect for such use, and can get in all the nooks and crannies you need to clean, as well. Yet its 2 amps (240 watts) of vacuum power seems strong enough for to get anything needing vacuuming. Unlike larger vacuums, this one is easy to carry up and down stairs, so cleaning up spills in the bathroom or elsewhere is no problem. Its small size also means it can get into tight crevices, and with a 25 foot cord, you can go the length of the stairs without plugging it in two different places. It even works well on walls and other vertical surfaces. The accumulated debris is vacuumed into a fairly large dust cup, which negates the requirement for any paper vacuum bags. Enjoy!
Excellent product for pet owners!
This vacuum is great for small area rugs and hard to vacuum steps. We have a dog (yellow lab) that constantly sheds and this vacuum picks up the hair on his bed and other area rugs that show his hair. It has a long plug so it is easy to use in hard to get areas. I have tried other cordless vacuums that were useless and this is the first hand held vacuum that has worked well and is easy to use. I was amazed the first time I emptied the collection container at the amount of dust and dirt that this small vacuum was able to pick up. I was also tired of dragging our regular vacuum up and down the stairs and this vacuum has allowed me to do our stairs efficiently and quickly. I would definitely recommend this vacuum for pet owners!
Great Little Vacuum!
I decided to get a handheld because, although I am pleased with my regular vacuum's performance on the carpet, I found using the attachments lacking in other vacuuming duties. This little vac complements my regular vacuum phenomenally!It has a rotating brush which easily pulled the dog hair out of my chair (made from a tapestry material.) Does a great job on the stairs too! It has a long 25 foot cord. I have some old handheld vac that's been gathering dust. It was very noisy. Although this one's not silent, it is less noisy than that screaming jet engine thing in the closet. It's also less noisy than my regular vacuum. Lighter than that other old thing too.
Best Handheld vac ever
I ended up buying this after a ton of research. I used the reviews from amazon and epinions. I have three dogs and they are allowed on the furniture. I have bought every gizmo known to man to clean the sofas and have always been disappointed.
When this arrived I broke it out and was amazed at how much dog hair and dust it was able to suck out of the sofa. I use it for small floor rugs and all of our furniture and it hasn't let me down yet.
I highly, highly recommend this!
Can you hear me now?!
It does a great job of cleaning up but it's VERY LOUD!!! Picks up large and small particles but it's loud. Did I mention it's loud?! May scare small children and animals.
