What's great about it: It has lots of power and takes up very little space.
What's not so great: Nothing at this time!
This hand vac is the best cordless vac that I have ever had. It is quite powerful and is able to reach in very small spaces. It does a fantastic job on steps. I also like the fact that it requires so little storage space.
This product is or has... Convenient to store, No bag, Cordless, Enough suction that a single-pass does the job, Easy to charge
About me... All about design, love things nice and neat.

Battery dies too fast

What's great about it: Great suction while it lasts
What's not so great: Battery dies too quickly
I just bought this hand vac four days ago. I charged it for a full 24 hours as instructed. The first night I used it -- just for a couple minutes, it was great. Picked up all the little crumbs on the floor from my toddler. Then tried to use it the next morning, and the battery died after about a minute of use. Charged it again for about half a day, and tried again. And again, the suction starts out strong, then starts to die.
I have, of course, emptied the canister and cleaned the filter, but it still loses suction after about 1-2 minutes, even though I've charged the stupid thing for hours. I just don't get it. I'm gonna have to take this one back.

What's great about it: It was great when it worked(week one)
What's not so great: Steady suction decline to uselessness
Purchased this soon after moving into my new home(actual date- 1-28-2011). It was purchased primarily as a quick draw pet hair removal tool so it was used daily. It then progressed into a quick tool to help clean leftovers from crosscut shredder, and typical home tech. Month one i noticed that the suction decreased. Didn't think much of it other than to clean the filter. That did NOT help. In fact, it declined as to date is useless. It can't even pick up per hair or dust.
All in all it was a great deal, i wanted to buy a couple more as gifts, but after my experience with this, no thanks. If being used for tech dust and pet hair(in hard to reach corners) can kill it in a matter of months, i would not give it to anyone.

The hand vac is very powerful and does a great job of picking up all types of dirt. The pivoting head is helpful in that it lets you get in to all types of spaces. The brush attachment is great for vacuuming around more delicate items. The collection chamber is easy to clean out.

What's great about it: Excellent overall hand vac
What's not so great: no cons
This hand vac has very good suction and is easy to empty. The built in brush attachment is useful, especially on carpeting and upholstery.
Does a good job of removing pet hair from furniture as well as stray cat litter. Am very pleased with its performance...

What's great about it: Suction, All in one design
What's not so great: Nothing!!!
This is my first hand held vac in a long time. I bought it specifically for cleaning up around my hamster cages (bedding, droppings and crumbs that all fly out of the wheels when they spin them). It works great. My wife used it clean between and under the cushions of our couches and also used it to vacuum the truck out. I expected it to do well on the couches, and it did just that. I was amazed at how well it did in the truck.
A side note...As stated in a couple of other reviews, yes if you flip it a certain way some of the stuff you vacuumed up will fall out. I fixed the problem. When I am done vacuuming I wait until I have rotated it back to its resting position before turning it off. Also when I go to use it the next time... I turn it on first and then rotate to the position I want it in... This avoids any spillage from previous or current vac jobs. No big deal in my opinion.
Great suction, Nice all in one design, no extra pieces to mess with because it’s all built in. As far as battery life is concerned ...Well I have never used it for more than 15 minutes and during that time it did not die and or lose suction.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: The cool factor for guys and manly men
What's not so great: Indoor usage, carpet functions, tools are stiff, falls off when rotates
While the premise is good, and the suction power is too, the unit disengaged several times while i was manuevering it, causing dust to fall etc. It would be great for husband's and cars, not carpeted stairs. The swivel feature is nice, but the charging is minimal and the implements are stiff and I would have probably broken them if I had persisted. But for the garage, or basement or again, " Mr. Fix-it" it would be a great gift... Price is a little over blown, but then again, they should be marketing it to guys, not us gals. It belongs in Home Depot, not Best Buy. And it's heavy. Check out the Bissell, it's amazing, tho there are drawbacks to it ( again, weight but worth the sacrifice.)
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I guess it is too soon to know if there are any negatives but the pluses make this an excellent product. I love the way it folds in half, thereby making a small footprint for storage. This unit replaced a Shark battery run small little thing but the size, when folded, is not that much bigger. Very powerful and battery charge lasts well.

What's great about it: Quick and easy to use.
What's not so great: Litter may fall out of the container through nozzle.
I have a German Shepard dog which sheds, even with constant grooming and a kitten that plays in the litter box, tossing that litter 3 feet in every direction around the box. This handy vac is the perfect tool to helping keep the place clean; I love it!
My only complaint is that litter sometimes falls out of the container when I fold the nozzle in. It's not a huge deal.
