Professional Compact Canister Vacuum Cleaner, SL3681A

Works very well for small spaces and has strong powerful suction for the craft room. Cord length is good and I love how you can store it partially out so I can keep it plugged in next to the Sewing Machine. I love that the bags are inexpensive and readily available. Has good dust collection, and nice and lightweight and portable. The power button is a little difficult to actuate but not horrible. It has on board storage for tools. Works beautifully. Nice strong suction. Zero regrets. I would not use it much on carpeting. It does not have a beater brush, but it would be perfect for hardwood concrete to suck a little bits out of your sewing machine or clean up messes in a craft room. It does seem to have better suction than most of the other vacuums I own, including upright.

I wanted a small, light vac with long tools. I have other vacs with carpet beaters but I needed something for stains, HVAC vents, the cars, etc. I've put this model through the various tests and found it to work well. Here is my Positive list. 1. Long power cord allows for a long reach. 2. Suction power is good for this size unit. 3. The crevice tools are long and work as expected. 4. Works best on hard flooring. 5. Lightweight. These are not negatives, just things to know. 1. The unit is plastic. It is good, sturdy plastic but you would not want to drop it. 2. The filter bag is small since this is a small vac. 3. The motor must have a good power draw since the cord gets warm with extended use. 4. The main hose attachment section has a rotating sleeve that allows you to reduce suction by turning the sleeve to allow air to be sucked in at the handle. If you don't know this, you may think the vac is weak because the sleeve is easy to rotate by accident, allowing air to enter at the handle, not at the nozzle. 5. The floor attachment is good for hard surfaces. I don't like it for carpet. It works. I just like beaters. Overall the little vac does what the manufacturer claims. It has worked flawlessly for me over the past few months. It won't replace my uprights but it does get into corners, cars, steps, vents, tight spaces. The floor attachment does well on furniture, especially for pet hair.

Super efficient. I work for a cleaning company, and honestly, this is absolutely essential. It is very lightweight, and thanks to its wheels, you can move throughout the entire house without any problems.

I like this a lot. It has strong suction, sturdy accessories, an expandable wand for reaching high places (vacuuming dust off the top of curtains and rods). It has a great crevice tools that gets into the corners of the window sill and other tight places. It is light enough to hold with one hand, even for my wife. She doesn't like that it lacks motorized wheels in the brush head to help move it along the carpet on the stairs, but its is still easier to use than balancing the upright vacuum on the stairs. I am keeping the vacuum in the impending divorce, she doesn't appreciate nice things!

I bought my first one 18 years ago. It got dropped and the housing cracked. Just bought again, this version has a little less power, but still works great!

This is used by a local cleaning business for homes and offices. It is reliable and has strong suction. The bags are not expensive and is a lot better than cleaning filters every time.

Love this vacuum, it’s my second one that’s exactly the same! Glad I got it before it was discontinued.

Unless I received a dud, I really do not understand all the rave reviews and videos for this unit. I have greater suction power sucking on a soda straw! Yes, the suction control slide is closed, and no, there are no hose obstructions. The only thing actually in the hose is a little bit of dust the suction wasn't suficient enough to move back into the bag. One video I watched had the user place his hand over the suction port, without the hose, and he was able to lift the unit stuck to the palm of his hand. I tried that and felt no suction at all from the open port. The tools provided are OK, but their attachment to the unit leaves a lot to be desired. The Eureka version of this unit, virtually identical, comes with a 1-pc combo brush/fabric tool that attaches to the rear of the unit. This unit has that same attachment port, but there are separate brush and fabric tools, that do NOT attach to this port. Instead, there is a separate tool caddy that snaps on to the wand at the hose end. So long as you use the vacuum with the two extension wands, this tool caddy is not a major issue. However, if you just want to use the short wand itself, you pretty much need to remove the tool caddy, as it gets in the way. I had real high hopes for this unit. Perhaps I just received a dud. Unfortunately I no longer have the packing materials to return it.

Been using for 4 weeks now and had to change the bag once so far. Great suction! Use it everyday 1-2 times a day for whole main floor. Not a vacuum for carpets but we do have inside/outside carpet and it does a decent job on it.

These are awesome….compact, portable….I bought 2, and also gave 2 away as gifts. Even got away with giving it to her for Xmas….its that good! And with the strap you can easily toss it over your shoulder & climb a ladder….so light & easy to pack around makes it very versatile.

We use it professionally because ALL backpack vacuums were creating back problems.

I wish it had more suction power, but the thing is admittedly lightweight which is a huge benefit if you care about keeping your vacuum portable.

It’s light and easy to use. Amazing power.
