Highlighted Reviews
"I live in the mountains with five cats of German shepherd and a Doxie everything they drag in and shed is everywhere on the floor. This little vac makes quick work of all of that pine needles dirt and fur. Love it"
"Not a simple task to use the handbag. You have to unscrew two screws, not just an easy pull out. The vacuum attachment at the bottom comes off very easily. And it's maneuverability is low tier. All in all, incredibly disappointed. Wasted my money."
Bottom Line
Overall, it's a decent budget option for quick cleanups on hard floors, but may not be the best for heavily carpeted homes or those needing a durable vacuum.
