Moving in to a new house with beautiful smooth tile floor was a vast difference from the fully carpeted house we came from. I came to quickly learn that A. If I wanted a clean house, I was going to need to sweep EVERY SINGLE DAY (you know that feeling when you walk around barefoot on hard floors and end up with dirt covering the bottoms of your feet? yeah, it's pretty awful), and B. Our trusty carpet vacuum was not going to do the trick. *sigh* So my options were to: sweep every single day for the rest of my life, deal with the dirt getting on my feet (yeah...no), or purchase a floor vacuum. ding ding ding. Floor vacuum it was!Through the black hole of Amazon searches, I came across this one and took a chance when there were NO reviews (I know, such a thrill seeker here!) but it had all the features I wanted most: lightweight, good suction power, convertible (to be able to use for more than just vacuuming my floor), affordable, and corded (the really good cordless ones would end up costing me my first born, so yup, this was on the list). Now that I've used it for a week, I'm here to give you the deets so you don't have to take quite as much of a chance.Let's start with the cons:--It takes a hot minute to arrive. I've gotten used to prime one-day shipping, so waiting a week was like waiting an eternity--It doesn't have a place to put the cord. This is not a deal breaker for me, but sure would be nice to be able to put the cord away neatly somehow. Bonus if it had a retractable cord thing. But alas, it does not! I end up rolling it back and tying it with the Velcro strip it comes with.--I don't quite understand the purpose of some of the buttons...but that may just be personal user error (instruction manual, what that? ;) )Pros:--It's got three different attachments--the floor attachment (which is extendable!), one with a brush (perfect for vacuuming furniture), and a thin pointed one to use for all the nooks and crannies--It's lightweight. You're not going to be building any significant muscles using this one, that's for sure. You might even be able to give it to your child to use--teach 'em young and all that--The floor attachment head SWIVELS! This means you can pretty much get anywhere with it--corners and under all the furniture, it's pretty great. I was able to vacuum fully under our king-sized bed with no significant effort.--It does what it's supposed to--clean the floor. Picks up dirt, litter, and oh boy, does it get all the cat hair tumbleweeds plaguing our house thanks to our two cats (one of which has a preposterous amount of fur)What this vacuum is not going to do is get hair out of carpets--it's not meant for that. It has no roller at the bottom, so if that is something you are looking for, look elsewhere. But if you have hard floors, are looking for an affordable lightweight vacuum that isn't going to take up a lot of room, yet want something that will work for it's intended purpose, I recommend this one. If my experience changes as I continue using it, I will be sure to add it on to my review here.08/15/2020
