Super light

Bought one of these as I was looking for something to help pick up stray cat litter in between hauling out the central vac, instead of a broom and dustpan. This little stick vac works perfectly for my needs. It works well on hard floors and will suck up surface dirt on low pile rugs. Generally needs to be cleaned out after each use and as it is black a quick wipe. It's fairly quiet and really light weight. Only things I think could make it better are a longer cord and softer (rubbery) wheels.

My Mom had one of these and it served her purpose since she lives alone. I don't think it would be adequate enough for a big household. She likes it because it cleans between her couch cushions very easily.

This vacuum is REALLY light weight. You can carry it around almost anywhere and it has a detachable mouth so you can also use it to clean things such as sofas and tables. The only downside would be that after you use the detachable mouth and remove it a lot, it starts getting loose and begins to fall off sometimes.
