I buy this to replace a Oreck for whole house use , but it just do not measure up . I end up have to buy a Dyson 23 turbinehead to get the job do . however , this little vac do have it be good point . pro : Lightweight simple to use . metal wand . Extra long cord . Fair suction for bare floor . can go bagged or bagless . con : not enough power to really clean rug or carpet . must purchase separate pack for comfortable carry and tool storage . no cord storage area . Tiny bag capacity . fail to pickup pet hair on rugs\/carpet . I would like to know why Hoover call this a `` commercial '' vacuum . I can not imagine a commercial enterprise depend on this vacuum . I have to think this be simply a marketing ploy and I fall for it . this would probably be fine for a single person with no pet in a small apartment with a few throw rug over a hard surface .
