Title: It doesn't suck
Review: Strong suction is not this machine's strong point. It will not suck up a grain of rice (long-grain, white, uncooked), unless one pulls the head off and uses the tube end (which is quite easy to do, and one can do edges that way too). That being said, it does a fair job with the smaller stuff, and the dust cup (or dog hair cup in my case) is amazingly full when one finishes. The cord is long enough for my purposes, and the aforementioned dust cup is handy - beats buying bags, though I imagine the filter at its top will need to be replaced at some point. I wonder if there's a stick vac that actually has good suction . . .Addendum May 2012: We got rid of this thing, since we found we never used it, since it didn't really work very well. I still don't know of a stick-type vac for hard floors that works well - we use a broom, and a regular vac for the edges and sucking up what we swept into a pile.
Is the review positive or negative?
