I bought this because I know some professional cleaners who use it, and I carry it around the house for carpeted steps where my huge vac can’t go. It’s also fantastic on hard surfaces like bathroom tile and wood floor. Once in awhile I haul it to the garage for the car because the attachments are small enough for crevices, but it’s no shopvac and that is a hard cleaning job. For actual carpet I use my huge vac, it’s much more powerful. This is a excellent small machine but I don’t reckon it’s possible to get the same suction as you get in a huge one. But, it’s super for the steps and getting around the bathroom tile in the small spaces. I am going to look for disposable bags, the cloth one does fill up quickly, it’s simple enough to change, but I reckon having a spare would be excellent. You can wash the filter in the machine after you shake off most of the gunk.
My place is mostly hardwood floors with some area rugs. I got sick of dragging a canister behind me, banging into stuff, tipping over, etc. This fits on my shoulder, and with the long cord, it makes vacuuming so much simpler. I kept my huge vacuum for occasional beater bar cleaning of my rugs, but I routinely vacuum the rugs with this small gem as well. I really like this vacuum — it does a fantastic job and is a real time saver.
I don’t know why the tag says “Maytag.” It’s a Hoover, and it’s been around for a long time.
Pros:
- Fantastic suction
- Sturdy but lightweight metal wands that don’t accidentally come apart
- Attachments that don’t fall off the wands
- Really long cord — I can vacuum my entire condo from the same outlet
- Reusable and washable bag with an option for using paper bags
Cons:
- No cord reel — adding one would make the unit larger and heavier — they give you a handy strap to hold the cord on the vacuum for storage
- No on-board attachment storage — again, adding one would make the unit larger and heavier — I just keep my attachments in a small tote bag
- 1970′s styling — this is either a “pro” or a “con” depending on how you look at it.
The unit is small and very portable, but yet has very excellent cleaning power. My home is primarily hard wood floors and with having three cats, two dogs and three children a lot of dust is produced. I highly recommend!
I bought this same vacuum over 30 years ago, and it
still works. It’s got some wear issues, I’m going to
place it in the garage and use it for really dirty work
until it quits. This new version works fantastic, looks and
works like the ancient one, but has a lot longer chord and
a shoulder strap. The ancient one was made in the U.S.A,
the new one assembled in Mexico, isn’t anything made
here anymore?
I got this vac because the Merry Maids who clean my house on occasion use this vacuum. They recommended it. When I got it, I used it for the first time and finished up with a stiff neck and an aching shoulder. The second time, the latch had broken off the back and I had to rig up a way to keep the dust container closed. And then there was another couple of days of aches and pains. I guess the people who rave about this vac are a lot younger or stronger than I am, but I am giving mine away. I would recommend staying away from this machine.
