We have a dog a and two cats and use a Dyson animal upright for our primary cleaning and absolutely love it.; but we couldn't bring ourselves to pay $200 + for a Dyson handheld. So we read reviews online and at consumer reports and decided to pick this up as it is much more affordable.
On the positive side, It is a plug-in handheld which we like as we won't have to worry about a battery running out in the middle of a cleaning. It is pretty light weight and the cord is long enough to do a full set of stairs. It has great suction and the rubber attachment works very well to pick up animal hair off of the stairs, couches, bedding, etc. It is a no-frills easy-to-use hand vacuum.
On the negative side, as others have stated, it does blow air towards the front sides of the vacuum so it's not a great choice for hardwood or tile floors as it does blow the hair and dust around a bit. However, for this price point, it's going to be hard to beat-I still recommend it.
What's great about it: Price, light weight, long cord, very easy to use, great suction, works well on couches, stairs, etc.
What's not so great: Not a good choice for hard floors as vacuum blows air out sides which blows dust/hair around before you can vacuum it up
This Hoover SteamVac features a SpinScrub multiple brush system for outstanding cleaning performance. The translucent tank makes it easy to view water levels.

We have a dog and two cats ,and I have paid over $100 to have the house steamcleaned by professionals...so at that price, I decided to pick up one of these steam vacs to see if it would do the job. I researched a good bit, and decided on this one based on the reviews and its cost compared to some other models. Set-up was fairly easy as was actually using the vac itself (if you follow the directions of course). I noted that some people stated that it is easy to break and has plastics, but honestly all of the steam vacs I looked at were like this. The machine did a great job of cleaning the floors and I really couldn't believe how much dirt it sucked up-the carpets look great again. It took about an hour to dry completely. I would recommend one of these steam vacs - it will pay for itself in a couple of uses.
What's great about it: Good at doing what it says it will do...got out some stubborn stains
What's not so great: Dirty tank fills up quickly, uses a lot of detergent
