This was not designed very well. It requires quite a bit of hand strength to take this thing apart and use as handheld vac - my wife can't do it at all.

The motor itself has decent suction. Much more powerful than my cordless handheld. And the cord is conveniently long. But as a stick vac there is no brushroll! And the suction hole on the bottom is 1.75" x 0.75". That's a really really small footprint.

To "transform" it from handheld to stick vac, you have to jam it together. There is no switch, no latch, etc. And the handle is very difficult to take off to turn into a handheld.

And as a hand vac, there is no handle! You just hold onto the pole part. It's very top-heavy, uncomfortable.

However, this worked quite well on hard floors. It has a built-in squeegee on bottom, which helps scoop up dirt/debris/pet hair while it sucks. And since there's no brushroll, it won't damage hardwood. I'm keeping this in the kitchen pantry, just for floors. And occasional use as a handheld vac.

At $25, my expectations weren't really that high to start with. And it is super slim, hangs nicely in the pantry. It definitely has limited usefulness, but at that price I can't complain too much.
