> 3 dayAs of November, 2015, this still works perfectly. My biggest complaint at this point is that when I use the hose attachment, the hose is rather stiff, and if you turn the hose a certain way, it makes the whole hand-vac tumble over. I purchased this to replace our previous one that I burned out the motor on. So far, this has done a better job than our previous hand-vac, and the previous one did a good job. We have two cats, one of them being a long-haired cat, and this hand-vac gets the cat hair off the carpet much better. The vacuum comes with several attachments. The standard attachment has rubber nubs on the end and does a good job at picking up the cat hair. There is also a little hose attachment and a piece that attaches to that with a velvety material that does a great job at gathering hair from furniture. In addition, there is also a crevice tool to get into corners well, and works very well on stairs. The hand-vac is a bit noisy, but it gets the job done. I also see why people have complained about the air rushing out the side of the vacuum. You have to be strategic about where you aim the side of the hand-vac, or you may end up blowing all your dust and pet hair around the room while you are trying to pick it up. That being said, it is not difficult to manage that. I do find the handle to be a bit more awkward to hold than our old hand-vac, but not a big con.

> 3 dayThis has the best suction power of any handheld vacuum I’ve used. Especially for pet fur. The photo is if dig fur this vacuum collected, immediately after I had used a hand held cordless.

> 3 dayThis is absolutely worth every single penny. We clean our carpet/stairs pretty regularly, but clearly by the picture a lot was being left behind. I’m both appalled and amazed by the amount of cat hair and general debris this thing picks up. Buy it! You won’t be disappointed.

> 3 dayI am not a stupid person and it should not take a half hour to figure out how to re-assemble and install the filters for this product after use and cleaning! i am going to have to get a different hand-held vacuum cleaner- this one is too much of a pain in the XX$%**. too bad because otherwise it gets the job done.

> 3 day1) Reviews noting the weird placement of the vents are 1000% right. The air blows any dust that might be in front of the vac all around. You cannot use this as a handy little dust devil to clean up small messes unless you use the hose attachment or McGuyver something up like some other reviewers 2) DEFINITELY BUY THIS FOR PET HAIR! This has been amazing at getting my tuxedo Cat’s hair off of every textile she passes by. It only took a couple of passes to clean up her favorite soft velvet seat, which has been a nightmare with other hand vacs and power roller attachments from my regular floor vacs. 3) The rubber nozzle is absolutely genius. It has openings on both sides, so when vacuuming flowy textiles like blankets and curtains, it doesn’t jam up but actually removes the hair. Also let’s you hold the vac “upside down” if that’s an easier angle for your hand. 4) This was the very best corded hand vac I’ve tried, and I don’t even consider cordless because Cat gets around the apartment and there’s no way one charge would be enough and corded is way more reliable to me. 5) Cleaning the canister and filter of collected debris was pretty straightforward like on most bagless vacs. Summary: buy this vacuum to get pet hair off textiles, but not for general vacuuming needs.

> 3 dayI needed to replace my handheld vacuum. I was open to buying either a cordless one or one with a cord. I didnt have a strong preference, either way. I luv that it has a long cord (18 foot) & a HEPA filter. The suction is ok & its easy to empty.

> 3 dayI bought this for our 24-foot RV and it fits the bill! Small enough to store under the sink and light enough to swing it around the space to clean up the dirt that gets tracked in after a long weekend. The attachments are handy for all the corner spots and despite the unit being plastic, seems able to withstand unclipping and clipping the waste receptacle a couple hundred time. Great purchase!

> 3 dayI love the size and versatility of this. The attachments are useful. The only downside us the filter which has to be cleaned out frequently. It has decent power and can be used in small rooms and spaces, stairs and places you cant get the big one. I also like that it has a cord and so it can run longer than battery powered ones with more power.

> 3 dayI had low expectations. Its not expensive. The cord is very long. I have a Dyson so getting this I thought was overkill but the extension does reach areas I couldnt get to with the Dyson. Ive had to give myself a haircut because of Covid and this thing cleans up all the hair. Its also more convenient to use in some hard to reach places than my Dyson. Its worth every cent Update- The nozzle that connects attachments to the vacuum has fallen off twice so far. Its a design flaw. I dont see a workaround. So reducing my 5 star review to a 2 star review. I would not have bought it if I knew this would happen. Maybe Ill return it. I dont have the box anymore so it will be a hassle. Update again- Ive been using this for a year and its awesome. Sometimes the nozzle pops off but it takes a second to put it back on. It gets all the hair off the floor. Love this thing

Greater than one weekI have a long haired cat that kitty litter gets stuck in the fur on her feet and she tracks it out all over the carpet. This works GREAT for vacuuming that litter up. Not so great for hair, but I have another one for that .....I do like this and bought another one
