I was impressed by the appearance, but the suction is not as strong as I thought. The Shark is just as strong and cheaper. would not recommend. Easy to clean filter.

..This may be a smaller machine, but this little guy has a lot of power. I was amazed at how much pet hair I had! I would recommend this vacuum to anyone with or without a pet. And, I would like to add that it was easy to assemble.

I received this vacuum (refurbished) and I love it. I usually use my rainbow vacuum but I have 4 levels in my house and it gets too much for me to go up and down the stairs with the rainbow. I purchased this unit for a quick clean up between using the rainbow. I was amazed at what a nice little vacuum this is and well made. The dust container is so easy to open and empty. I do not agree with the previous review as the suction is very strong and putting it next to the rainbow I have, I must say it is very good for its size. I would recommend this one. I also purchased two of the Monster floor cleaners and they are WONDERFUL!!!!! This brand of products are very well made. I first saw this advertised in Europe and was very happy when I found it here. You will not be sorry if you purchase any of the Monster items.
