This was shown to cost over $170 new. I would be really mad if I had paid that much for it. I got it refurbished for about $50 and it is OK at best. I have hardwood floors with area rugs. Some of the rugs it picks up on better than others. It does OK on the hardwood, but still doesn't get everything. It keeps its charge for about an hour, depending on what type of floor I'm using it on. The dusting rag has to be taken off when I do the rugs so I don't even use it. I wouldn't recommend it although I will continue to use it because it's still better than what I had before. Occassionally I get out the broom and the big vacuum to do a better cleaning job.

Great little vaccum for the ocasional little messes. Feels sturdy and the suction is great, needs to be emptied almost everytime you use it, also no problem, one charge lasted one week. Hope it will continue to keep charge, this one replaced the one "as seen on TV " that landed in the garbage.

When I moved to a condo, I had to put the cat litter in my bathroom. I have been looking for something to pick up litter as well as hair. This does a terrible job! The microfiber cloth is a waste unless I use it by hand with a lot of elbow grease. It just pushes the litter around having to go over it several times before it finally picks it up. It is no better on hair. One of the reasons I got this was because it also has suction...I can't feel any! The filter cup is as small as the swivel sweeper so I am used to emptying it after every use. The swivel sweeper is much more flexible. I will keep looking.

The vacuum is good for everyday cleaning. I wouldn't use it for really deep cleaning, but it's fine for everyday use. I live in a small studio apartment, so I like that it doesn't take up much space. I wouldn't recommend it for cleaning large spaces, but it's fine for a studio or one bedroom apartment.
