Strengths: Cute design, very light to move around

Weaknesses: Everything feels so cheap, weak suction power

Summary: I bought this vacuum cleaner as a replacement of my previous upright bagless type vacuum from dirt devil. Main reason was the heavy weight and the difficulty of its filter cleaning after each use. Now good things of this little vacuum: 1. Cute orange color design 2. Feather like weight compared to the previous one from Dirt Devil 3. Retractable power cord 4. Don't need to clean your vacuum after each use But this small vacuum has its own bad things too: 1. Suction power is not enough even at its maximum power. As a result, power control is literally worthless. Previous one had 12A power and I think that was the minimum power for cleaning entire house cleanly. 2. Everything is made of cheap and weak plastic. 3. Big rear wheels are good. But due to a small front wheel, it sometimes rolls over or tumbles. 4. Wand and suction head easily fall apart. Overall, if you want to have a small and light weight vacuum for your studio type or one bedroom apartment, this can be a good choice. But if you think above bad things are really important to you, look for other vacuum. As for me, I'm relatively satisfied with this small vacuum mainly due to its light weight and its easiness to clean my apartment. I hope that I can use this vacuum for a few years more without breaking it.
