This was purchased to replace a very basic hand-held stair vac we've had for ages. At first glance it seems like a no brainer. I will admit the power of this little fellow is quite potent. The brush is pretty good too (unlike our previous no-brand vac) The hose and hidden crevice tool is pretty nifty too. But beyond that, the "coolness" wears off...
Perhaps it's just me, but I find this vacuum very bulky to be used on stairs, and forget about trying to use it in your car. Yes, it does a good job, but being as large as it is and being all plastic (IE no soft bag on the end) makes it that much more difficult to toss around rather small steps.
But here's the real deal killer for me... For some reason, every time I use it I get these horrible cramps in my hand. It's something about the angle the handle's at I think, but I usually end up simply holding it from the rear. I've had my mother try it out and she complained about the same thing so I don't think it's just me. Plus I never, and still don't have any similar problems when using the old vacuum with the simple flat handle.
I don't know... I'd love to say this thing's great, but I just can't. I'd advise looking into other brands and models before perusing this one.
