What's great about it: Great size, easy to use
What's not so great: the retractable cord was broken on arrival and will not rewind
I was thrilled with the vacuum until after I used it and the retractable cord did not rewind and there is now no place to wind up the cord or get it back inside the cannister. Will have to go to the trouble and time to send it back and wait for a replacement and hope that it works.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Works great, good suction and easy to move around. Works on carpet and tile with ease.
What's not so great: Cord is fairly short and bags are small.
For the price and size, this is a great little vacuum. I have pets so need it for pet hair and messes. It picks up both carpet and tile hair and dirt with ease. Bag is easy to change, cord winder works great. Canister is nice because you can drag it all over the place and it is heavy enough that is stays upright, not like some of the plastic models. I have a 1500 sq foot house that is mostly tile with area rugs and it is the perfect vacuum plus easy to store because it is so small.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Convinient
What's not so great: attachments are not really up to my standard
It is great for quick job and daily go over the living space.
Not for the big clean-up. And, attachments are little bit weak. You have to be careful when you use it. Otherwise, it will fall apart.

What's great about it: Works great for it's small size !!
What's not so great: Nothing in Particular
For such a small vacuum it works really well !! I have both carpet and tile in my house and it does a really good job on both and I am very happy with the way it's working. I was surprised when a couple of people on here mentioned that the vaccum comes apart and separates easily. I actually have the opposite problem because I have such a hard time taking it apart (lol).
Overall I think it's a great purchase, you won't be sorry !

What's great about it: excellent for tile, hard floors
What's not so great: tube and hose detach too easily
I've had the unit for almost a year now and it is outstanding for tile and wood floors. Not bad on carpet either. Easy to maneuver. The only issue is the metal tube separates too easily from the plastic hose (friction connection). For the price, I'm very pleased.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Nothing
What's not so great: It falls apart
I thought this canister was so cute and with a name like Hoover it should be good, but it's not. You can't keep the darn thing together. You'll be vacuuming and the hose comes apart. Very annoying.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What's great about it: lightweight, great on bare floors
What's not so great: not enough suction, cord not long enough, kinda flimsy
I should have known that buying a cheap vacuum, you can't expect the best. Even though its great on bare floors, most of my apartment is carpet. Its one of those vacuums where you have to go over the same spot about 5 times before you feel like its clean. It also tips over very easily and drags around the floor.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What's great about it: Great pickup for hard floors, very light.
What's not so great: Not very durable.
I got this little vac about a year ago and was pleasantly surprised. For $40 bucks on sale this thing worked better than any vacuum I had ever used. We chose this one for the price and because we have lots of hard floors. I worked like a dream, except the wand kept falling off the handle. Turns out plasitc and metal do not stay together very well. I was willing to deal with this because it worked so well. There was even a swivel on the foot that enables you to go under the sofa! That broke. I had to superglue it back on so that it could still be called a floor vac, but it doesn't swivel anymore. That diminished the capability of this vacuum significantly. There was also a place on the back to attach the foot so it stores nice and neat. Wanna guess what happened to that? The automatic cord rewind worked great too at first. Now it is very slow, and I have to help feed the cord back in. Then, the plastic coupling on the foot cracked. Electrical tape worked well for that. Finally, one of the big wheels that makes it look so cute broke off, but it still rolls around behind me, just a little lopsided. So despite the fact that this thing has almost completely fallen apart, with a little TLC mine still picks up great after one year. I have probably gotten my moneys worth out of it, but the frustration it has caused me prevents me from recommending this vacuum.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What's great about it: Lightweight, cord retraction pedal - No more wrapping it up!
What's not so great: Small bags - Good for small apartments, not advised for lots of sq ft.
After the motor burning up in my Bissell upright, I wasn't willing to spend alot of money on a vacuum again. I've seen this little guy a couple of times and decided to buy it.
It has more than enough power for your every-day cleaning, and the variable suction is a great added feature. It's very light weight, I can carry the canister around if I want, or I can let it follow me as I'm vacuuming. Attractive as well! Bang for buck, for the style and power, this little guy is great.
The foot pedal on/off switch and cord retraction pedal - I just love it.
If you have a bigger house, this would probably do fine for mid-week touch ups, but this vac is more suited to a smaller apartment, probably not to exceed 900 sq ft if you're using it as your primary vacuum.
For what it is - I'd give it an outstanding if the bags were just a liiitttleee bit bigger.

What's great about it: Compact Size/Price
What's not so great: Small Bag Fills Quickly
I just bought this little guy for cleaning the hardwood floors in my home. It works great, unlike many other small canister vacs. Suction is awesome! It even has a dial switch that allows you to adjust the suction power. The only downfall is the small vac bag that fills quickly. Overall this lil guy is great!!

I bought this for everyday cleaning to pick up dog hair and dust... the variable suction control is convenient and useful feature. It is very light, compact and can be stored away in th back of a closet.
The only downside I've found is that it loses its suction relatively quickly until the bag is replaced.
I would recommend this to a friend!
