What's great about it: good price, lightweight, powerful
What's not so great: nothing so far
It works great on my floors. Unbelievable suction power for a little vacumn: it picks up all of my cat's hair (and my hair) on the lowest setting. It's just what I needed for my small apartment.

What's great about it: Build quality and powerful suction
I knew from the second I opened the box that this was a tough little vacuum cleaner. Very compact but with a big attitude. It's built tough with lots of great features like a large handle on the body, metal telescoping rod, strong cord retractability, adjustable suction, a very sturdy floor brush, rubber wheels and oh yeah tattoos too!! A great buy!!!!!

What's great about it: Everything
What's not so great: All good....
The vacuum is amazing. Its small size is very deceiving. It is wonderful! So powerful for its size. Great suction power. Light weight and easy to maneuver.
If I were to ask for anything; it would be a couple more attachments. But that I can certainly live with and can use attachments from my previous vacuum if necessary.
Overall; it's a great machine and the price is good too. We're actually considering getting another one for our second floor.

What's great about it: The impressive suction
What's not so great: The crevice/duster brush
I replaced a 15 YO Dirt Devil canister with this new model. I was completely AMAZED at the suction on this sweet little cleaner. I find that I am using it in places where I used to use my upright because the suction is so strong. Since I have wood floors and area rugs, it means that I can use one vacuum for everything when I clean. The metal wand is a great improvement over the plastic ones on the old vacuum. The fact that that it is one piece and is adjustable makes this machine all the more versatile. And then there are those cute little flowers on the tank that make me smile every time I use it.
The one negative is that the duster brush/crevice tool is a little disappointing, but the price was right, making this a very good buy.

What's great about it: everything
What's not so great: nothing so far
This vacuum cleaner works perfect! It's very light, you can reach almost any corner in your home. Very powerfull. We use it for about 6 months now and so far it does great job. It's good for all kind of floors, either carpet or any type of hard flooring. The price is good too, I was searching for other brands, but similar products are priced almost 5 times more!. So I've read the reviews left by the other consumers and I've decided to give a chance to this little thing. And I'm happy I did choose this vacuum cleaner...

What's great about it: looks nice
What's not so great: doesn't work
We bought this vacuum because it was affordable and looked good and we thought we'd give the bagless type a chance. Bad choice. Just picking up bread crumbs from the hardwood floor requires hovering above them for 15 seconds. Forget about carpets or upholstery. Trying to clean the canister is equally frustrating: the interior of the vacuum is lined with the dirt you've just worked hard to remove from your house. Not worth a cent. It's been sitting unused in our house for a year and a half. Luckily, we can sweep the floors with a broom, and the cleaner who comes every three weeks brings her own ultra professional machine.

What's great about it: Power, Stainless Steele extensions.
What's not so great: Cheesy tools and hose.
Performance of the canister is excellent, however just like a few other reviewers mentioned the hose is cheap... The tools that come with it are also kinda cheesy... The wands are Stainless and that was a surprise, so I just migrated good tools from upright that's impossible to use the tools with and I'm good with that... Considering the performance for the price, very good.

What's not so great: Hose is a little on the cheap side/bends too easily.
If you have mainly hardwood floors and a dog like I do, you will love this vacuum. It's got fantastic power for picking up dog hair from the floor and rugs. Light weight so I can carry it outside to clean the car, as well! I was VERY pleasantly surprised.

What's great about it: The suction and it picks up animal hair and human hair and dust and allergents
What's not so great: Nothing is wrong with it and it is great i do not have a problem with my canister vacum!
It is good for dog hair and cat hair. Pet hair is hard to remove so as it is and this canister vacum works good on that. Good on hard wood floors and other kind of flooring like
granite,porcelain,ceramic,laminate flooring.
Great suction for corners and stair ways . it comes with attachements and nice handle . Easy to carry and take to room to room. Nice long handle for tough spots to reach at and a nice long cord to move around the room with . Also it is nice to look at to the printed a nice picture of a tatoo on the front of it and used pink in the picture it is nice. The vacum has power to it and suction out the wazoo.
I also noticed that the bags are smaller then normal canister bags and that is good less to take up room in your trash can . Bags are bio degradable and cost cheap to purchase.
I like bag vacums compaired to bagless they do not break as easy and you do not have to throw away dirt you just cleaned up and have the dirt back in the air no reason for that this vacum does not do that it is a bag canister it is also a easy way if you have allergies to keep them under control.
If you have allergies to pet hair and this is a remarkable vacum for that it takes the allergies out of the air while you clean and sweep the floor also the attachements the base floor brush is nice to handle no motor in the base brush means more power for you to clean the motor is in the cainster away from the dirt and hair you are cleaning up that means the floors have better way to be cleaned.
also it has a shut off locater as well if it over heats and clgs up.
If you have a clog the vacum will shut off and cool its self down . when you restart it the suction will declog it self and no need to poke at the hose the vacum does it on its own.It has a declogging suction added to this vacum. That is cool when a vacum is not clogged up with dirt and hair.
This is powerful enough to clean your whole house and electronics to like your tv to your pc and laptops it is good on curtains and blinds and base boards as well.
great on tight spaces and great in corners and high areas like ceilings and railings and etc.
I can not say enough about this vacum it is cheap and affordable and it is easy to use and work with and the best things about it the price.
I really do hope you get this vacum and i hoped i helped with your selection with the positive remarks about this. I have one and i like it i am planning to buy another one and have two for my house upstairs and downs stairs to.
I also cleaned my car out with this and it is perfect i do recommend this vacum!
I would recommend this to a friend!

It sux but that's a good thing for a vacum. It really works great and very cool paint job in red. I like the retractable cord but it could be a little longer.I was impressed with the attachments included high quality nice handle that makes it easy to pick up and transport. Also comes with about 4 extra bags. That was another nice surprise. I like the disposable bags easier to pull out and dump in the trash.

What's not so great: could use longer cord, plastic nozzle is a litte hard to get into wand.
This is the most powerful vacuum I've had to date. This is the perfect vacuum for folks with lots of oriental style rugs on hard wood floors. The canister is very compact and the metal wand to a plus. The retractable cord is very useful, however wished it was longer.

The Dirt Devil Tattoo replaced my bagless Dirt Devil Breeze because I got tired of rapping the dirty, dusty filter to clean it out. I use it mainly in the areas that we have wood laminate flooring (kitchen, family room, hallways, entry and laundry area) with a few area and throw rugs and on our carpeted stairway. I especially like the varied suction power when vacuuming the small rugs. The automatic retractable power cord is a time saver and easy to use. I wish that the power cord were longer. It is light weight and easy to manuever and I like the metal telescopic tubing. The plastic tubing from my former Dirt Devil Breeze's locking system didn't always stay locked but tended to come apart when I was vacuuming. The price was excellent

What's great about it: Powerful, great color, lightweight, price
I give this vacuum a total thumbs up! I lose A LOT of hair and was leary of buying an upright vacuum because of hair clog issues -- so, canister it was! I read a few good reviews on other sites and decided to give this vacuum a try. This is a really cute, lightweight, powerful vacuum for the price. Works well on hardwood, tile and all kinds of carpets/rugs. So far, I have nothing bad to say!
