Used this several times now.  NO, the "suck" isn't amazing.  It does its job on light stuff but won't pull dry grass that velcros itself into auto carpet.  Don't expect a shop vac here (and even that doesn't get some of those suckers).  The extension hose becomes almost useless as the vacuum drops significantly at that distance.  However!  I love the longer card and the product itself seems sturdy and well-built and does what it's supposed to do for getting up the dust and similar.  Actually I have to say it even got a couple of pieces of lighter gravel.  Great for light touchups in my RV and easy to dispose of the mess.  Nice carry bag to keep it contained and the bonus filter gets a thumbs up.
