   This is a fantastic small vacuum!

   Assembly:
   
   Simple-as long as you read the small, clear directions (with pictures). I was using it within 10 minutes of opening the box.

   Size:
   
   small, which is fantastic for me. I have a 2 bedroom villa style townhome, with tile everywhere but the bedrooms and stairs. This is a fantastic size for me; but if you have a huge home, or even a moderate-sized home with a lot of carpet, this may not be the best choice for you.

   Handling:
   
   Simple again. It’s light compaired to the huge vacuums, but the high end of average for the small vacuums. I like it though, it self-propels easily and turns well. The only thing I don’t like is you have to manually unlock the base (or “foot”) from the upright position by holding it with your foot while moving the handle back/downwards.

   Cleaning:
   
   You can’t get much simpler than this unit when it comes to cleaning it out- you push a button, and the container pops out. The top easily twists off, and you just dump it out. The filter has to be cleaned here and there too. It’s just as simple to place it back in (unlike my last vacuum… ugh)

   Effective?
   
   Absolutely. I have 3 cats- that shed allll the time. Chairs and sofas were a constant battle between us and the kitties… but now, we’ve WON!
   
   the power paw is especially fantastic.

   Value:

   TOTALLY worth the money! As long as you don’t have a huge house with wall to wall carpet, you should give this one a try!

   first time i used it worked fantastic, picked up all the hair & stuff on the carpet. the suction is pretty strong for being a small vaccum. compact size so it hides away behind the couch. i do reccomend cleaning the filter & empty the container outside! if you dont clean out the container after every other few uses obviously the suction/pickup wont be as excellent but as soon as you empty it out & knock around the filter it works just as excellent as the first time you use it. i have black carpet & a siamese/himalayin cat that drags herself along the floor so a vaccum that picks up all the hair is fantastic & hard to come by!

   I like this small vacumn- it works fantastic both on hardwood and carpeted (deep carpeting!) floors. It’s incredible that even though I thought the floor was vacumned thoroughly with my other very expensive vacumn- I picked up enough fur to make a puppy! It’s lightweight and simple to maneuver and I am using this as my main vacumn and the expensive one is now our backup!

   This “Pet Lover” vacuum is brilliant on pet hair! I ordered it as a replacement for the standard “Optima” vac that I had in my previous aobde. With two cats in a smaller apartment, the hair accumulated quickly. There’s a nifty attachment for upholstery that works really well! The first swipe across my dirty couch left a clean swath. With a traditional attachment, it would take several strokes to get the arm of my couch that clean. Suffice to say, this thing rocks pet hair! The price can’t be beat and the size of this thing fits fantastic in my small apartment. I was also amazed that there was no dust in the air after cleaning a dirty floor and couch! An incredible small vac!

   Used nearly every day for about a month now on level loop carpet, bare floors, and stiff low-pile area rugs. It’s a compact small powerhouse. I have back and muscle issues, so I didn’t want a giant heavy vacuum. Recommended for those with arthritis and related conditions.

   Noise: Low-pitched moderate noise. Very acceptable. Cats don’t freak out anymore.

   Handling: Lightweight. Simple to maneuver. Fits in small hard to reach places. Handle is fantastic to hold. The telescoping button and catch of the handle seem a small flimsy so I will be careful with it.

   Power: Very strong suction. Incredible for such a small vac. Super on bare floors. Suction is so strong it pulls stuff out of edges without even being over the spot. Downside is it sometimes blows dust bunnies out of corners before you can get to them due to the exhaust pointing toward the front. Lower the vac more and it helps.

   Effectiveness: Works well in a small living space with cats. No litter spitting out back. Raises loop pile to look fresh. Doesn’t work well on the stiff ultra low-pile area rug though. One height default setting is limiting. Rotating hand tool worked well on pet cushions. Air smells fresher after vacuuming.

   Design: A excellent design layout for a vac that’s compact. I like that the vacuum’s suction power can be set to the hose or the floor. Cord is a couple feet shorter than what it should be. The canister lid is locking which is nice, but a small awkward to get it on and off. The filter placement causes fibers to collect up top instead of at the bottom of the canister, so you have to clean it nearly every time you vacuum.

   Manual: No instructions on how to change belt.

   Other thoughts: Puts out a large amount of heat, which is excellent in winter. In a small space raised the room temp 2º by the time I was done with some heavy cleaning. Hard to remove stickers on the outside, even with gummy remover. The power brush holder on top of the canister gets weak after a few uses.

   Bottom line: For the cost this vacuum performs very well on level loop carpet with cats. Despite some flaws, it does the job and I would buy again.
