Bought this one after I returned the 60" hose.  I am convinced the length of this one contributes to my amazing vacuum times (we take it to 350 microns).  I remove all the depressors and schrader stems and I can achieve a 350 micron vacuum in about 20 minutes.  Amazeballs!

The Vastar sucker-desoldering vacuum is black in color.  This is a lightweight vacuum that measures 7-1/2" length x 3/4" diameter.  This is a very powerful vacuum.  It vacuums up all the loose solder or excess solder that has been placed. This is an ambidextrous tool allow it to be used whether you are right or left-handed.  I love that it can be used with one hand making it easy to use while still stay focused on keeping wires and what not from shifting out of the intended location.
I have been using soldering to amend my electronics that have either broken or because I wanted to mod them.  I have found it hard to find an easy to use vacuum for my excess solder, left behind because I am pretty new to it.  This seems to be a great fit for me and for what I need. I am sure there is more expensive extravagant ones then this one but this is simple and for a hobbyist such as myself perfect.
The vacuum is very easy to use while still doing a good job at sucking away any excess solder. You place the suction inlet at the point needing to be sucked up and plunge the middle rod down. The plunger glides smoothly, allowing for an easy and accurate action. With a simple twist you are able to empty it with ease. This is truly the vacuum for me.

The Hoover Windtunnel MAX was considerably less than I had paid for either of my last two vacuum cleaners, but on the glowing recommendation of a major consumer publication I thought it was worth a try. I've used this for just a little over a month and I'm convinced I made the right purchase.

Super job of picking up dirt and pet hair (I have a dog and a cat), The tools are easy to attach, and although it is not self-propelled it is very easy to use. The HEPA bags are a nice touch since my son-in-law is allergic to pet dander, and changing bags is very easy. (There's even a "change bag" indicator.)

The 28-foot electrical cord means you can cover a lot of area without having to be constantly switching from one outlet to the next. If there is one issue, it is that the product description states: "You can clean quickly and efficiently with up to 17 feet of above the floor cleaning reach...." In reality, the "stretch hose" at most stretches to 11 feet. So even with the telescoping extension wand, you're adding only another 2.5 feet. (I suppose I could get 17 feet if I held the vacuum over my head!) It's not really a big deal. All that means is that while I'm doing the stairs, at some point I have to move the vacuum from the top of the stairs to the bottom to finish.

Overall, this has proven to be an excellent vacuum at a very reasonable price.  VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

I had a vacuum plate adapter that must have been too small. This one is PERFECT. I actually get suction, and funny thing- I was wearing rubber gloves when I installed it, and the suction was so intense it ripped a hole in them. Thank god, cause the old vaccum plate did nothing of the sort!! I now have a clean pool and am ready for the winter to go away!!!

This little, inexpensive, light weight vaccum looks like a toy but vacuums up the smallest particles of dust within seconds, it has a perky strong motor, an excellent telescopic wand that is long enough to reach tall places that I can't reach alone. The accessories are smart in design and attach to either the wand or the base so that they can not be lost. This vacuum has very strong suction, it is amazing, it will suck up a floor rug in 1 sec., this was a smart purchase.  Don't let the look and price tag fool you!

This is my first review - but I'm so happy with this thing I just had to write.  I have killed 4 vacuums in 7 years - including a shop-vac.  My house is surrounded by dirt and desert "landscaping" (read: no grass) and I have four large dogs who roam free throughout the house - usually after rolling around in said desert.  I tore out all the carpet in the house and, until we can afford proper flooring, we're living on concrete slab.  The vacuums inevitably die a loud and rattling death - losing suction and spitting out more dust than they suck up.  The last one was a Eureka Pet Lover which wasn't bad, but the hose was so flimsy it eventually collapsed in on itself making it impossible to use.  Plus it had gotten so loud I often wore ear plugs.
To get an idea of the amount of dirt, fur and dust I'm dealing with, on average, I fill a vacuum bag in three house cleaning sessions.

$300 is more than I've ever spent on a vacuum but I was sick of cheaply-made crap that only worked a little better than whatever I'd had before, plus the reviews for this were pretty encouraging.

I received it this afternoon and just finished running it through the house.  Biggest thing I noticed first was the noise - or, lack of noise.  I can't believe how quiet it is, the actual suction sound can get louder than the machine itself.  At first I didn't think it was picking anything up but then I realized that was because the floor attachment was moving so smoothly over my bumpy and uneven floors.  Giant balls of dog fur disappeared instantly, dust was gone.  I used the soft brush attachment to dust my bookshelves with and quickly realized I could dust just about everything with it - thus avoiding flapping dust all over the place with a filthy dust rag.  For the TV, I just cranked up the suction and got all the dust out of the little cracks and crevices.  For the books I turned it down a bit to avoid ripping paper covers.

It is incredibly sturdy, feels solid and well-designed, and runs so smoothly I just couldn't believe it.  Two thumbs up for German engineering!

Perhaps I should use it for a few months and see how it handles my extreme conditions - but right now, I'm ecstatic!  I can enthusiastically recommend this one.  It's so great, I can't imagine what the REALLY pricey ones are like!

I love my mini vacuum sealer.  I had an even smaller one for years that finally gave out.  This one can seal the 11" inch bags, which I am finding more practical than I had expected.

I thought such a tiny bag would fill up fast and have to be replaced often. Instead, I have been using mine for over six months and it is still going strong and filtering the air beautifully - just like the first day I had it. I use my canister to supplement the Hoover Platinum Lightweight Bagged Upright (LBU), to dust furniture, ceiling vents, floor baseboards, drapes, under deep furniture, and also to vacuum out the underside of the LBU and the interior when I change the bag. Available on 4 for 3 promotion when I got it. Totally worth it!

Ever since I was a little girl I have dreamed of owning a cordless vacuum. (Was that even possible at the time?)
Ever since I became an owner of a house with stairs, I've dreamed of a vacuum that makes vacuuming stairs as easy as vacuuming flat surfaces.
And ever since I experienced the miracle that is the Roomba, I have dreamed of a light, powerful vacuum that lets me do quick cleanup on, well, the stairs, and everywhere else the Roomba misses.

With the Hoover Air Cordless Upright Vacuum, my dreams have come true.

Points of awesomeness:
* Comes with 2 -- TWO! -- batteries and a charger. So easy.
* Light as a feather. I couldn't believe the box contained a vacuum, and when I pulled it out I was in shock. My sister tried to burst my bubble by saying 'oh, that's because the battery's not in yet' (because the battery is pretty heavy), so I put the battery in -- and it was still light as a feather. I can lift it over furniture with absolutely no problem.
* Does the stairs. It's small and light enough I did a full flight of carpeted stairs in about 5 minutes. Probably less. And I didn't have to stop to switch the plug from upstairs to downstairs!! This is true love.
* The light is perfect for dark basement hallways.
* THERE IS NO CORD. If you don't have this in your life, you need it. Now.

Points of lesser awesomeness:
* It's a little hard to vacuum right next to the wall. Luckily, this thing has a hose too, and without having to worry about a cord, I actually LIKE using the hose. Although it takes 10 seconds to put it together, you know. It's close to perfection.
* My biggest complaint is actually the button for hard floor vs. carpet. The button doesn't lock in place, so there is no indication which setting you are using except for the rotating or non-rotating brushes. Not that big a deal, but it really confused me the first time I used it.

I have rarely experienced such love for an appliance that's not my computer as I have for the Hoover Air. And the Roomba. Together they make a team of efficient effortless cleaners who show me the unlimited possibilities of our wonderful scientific world.

I'm still testing everything out, most importantly to see how it holds up after multiple uses because I've had good vacuums break on me after 4-5 uses.

Anyways, at least so far, I'm rating this vacuum as a fully deserved 5 stars.

First of all it is really easy to maneuver this entire unit on every surface I've used it on (carpet and tile). Secondly, you can really tell how powerfully it sucks everything up.  Most vacuums I've tried, you need 2-3 pass through to get that one little piece of something you see stuck on the carpet.  Not here.  One pass, and it's gone!

Now, for my favorite, the dust containment feature.  This is probably the best part of the vacuum, at least for me.  I was completely horrified at how much dust was apparently (and truly) in my home after vacuuming with the shark.  There was way more dust trapped by this vacuum than any lint, crumbs, or debris, by far and away.  And trap it, it did.  And you might think that I'm just exaggerating but Ive had to dust far less than I used to, before using this vacuum.  It's amazing!

So far, so good.  I'll update with more info as I use it more and more.  Hopefully this thing lasts.

Love it!  Cut vacuum time down to practically nothing!!

I was apprehensive about purchasing the DC35 because I thought 6-15 minutes of charge time would not be enough time to vacuum my hardwood floors. I was wrong. I have enough time to vacuum my RV AND the hardwood in my great room and my kitchen AND 2 bathrooms.

The suction is outstanding. I have a dog and 2 cats and hair everywhere. This little machine picks it all up. . . on the first pass. The hair does not blow up in the air but goes into the vacuum. It even gets the hair off my LR rug where my dog lays all the time.

The DC35 vacuum is light and easy to handle. It does a great job on carpeted stairs, which are a real pain with a regular vacuum.

I own the Dyson Animal DC28 so I knew the quality would be there.

All in all, I am thrilled with this vacuum and would recommend it to everyone.

BTW, shipping was excellent also. It arrived on my doorstep one day BEFORE the delivery date.

It is now 3/2/2013. I still love my DC35 and it is still operating well. I would clarify one comment. This vacuum will not deep clean rugs/carpets. It will take up the dog hair "laying on the top" of the rug. It does work well for my carpeted stairs and my hard floors. BTW, if you want to pick up "chunks" i.e. cat litter, dog/cat food just put it on MAX and it will do the job. Also, wrap your finger around the trigger, rather than pushing with the tip of your finger, and you should have no problem holding the trigger for the duration of your vacuuming time.

This works great.
I noticed significantly more pet hair getting picked up, then my old vacuum
One think I DONT like...the cord is about 3/4 ft shorter than my old vacuum, and that's a bit annoying, because I need to unplug it a couple times...Ii know 1st world problem.

I bought this vacuum for my home as it is rather large and has multiple floor types on the main floor.  We have carpet, laminate and tile on the main floor and this vacuum takes care of it all.  I am always impressed by the quantity of items in the collection bin.  I have see such small particles in there that I am never concerned that this vacuum is not picking up every little morsel.  I set this vacuum to run M-F at 8:30am and every night when I come home or right before I go to bed I empty out the bin and use a compressed air can, duster, to blow out the filter in the bin.  I found this method perfect for keeping this vacuum running in tip top shape.

The vacuum also receives monthly cleanings where I take apart all the components on the exterior of the vacuum and clean them thoroughly.  The bin is easy enough to pull out with the filter.  The brushes come out easy as well along with the black and white roller ball.  I do not disassemble the drive wheels but I do use the compressed air to eliminate dust buildup in those crevices.  I also use a microfiber cloth to wipe down all the sensors, charging contacts and the vacuum in general.  I actually enjoy doing this maintenance on the vacuum because I know if I treat the vacuum well it will treat me well.

Occasionally the vacuum has gotten stuck and doesn't make it back to the charging station but that is once in a blue moon.  I did have to change my initial location of the charging port due to it being in a congested area.  I have also used this vacuum as a spot room cleaner from time to time when I don't have time to vacuum.  This thing will also fill the collection bin until it is packed which is gross and impressive all at the same time.  I am very happy with this purchase and I am looking to purchase a second one to take care of my 2nd floor.

I am amazed at the convenience of this vacuum. I can vacuum throw rugs with it and it won't suck the rugs up off the floor but still cleans them really thoroughly. I wish it had a longer cord.

This vac does an amazing job at cleaning. I have 2 uprights, 1 corded and 1 cordless. I'd say this cleans just as well as my cordless model. I've only had this for a few days now, but have been running it multiple times testing it out. My house is about 1450 sq ft with half hardwoods and half carpet. I've been using the magnetic strips to do the cleaning in 2 parts. One part hardwood and 2nd part carpet. From all the research I've done, it seems that these robots are all supplements to the vacuum. I almost think this one could almost be a replacement. It won't get into nooks and crannies, so you'd still want to get in there manually, but I figure I can do that once a month. I've got 2 dogs, one long haired (like a husky) and the other is a lab. Both are quite the shedders. To be in tip top shape this requires daily vacuuming (yes, even in the winter). If I wait for 3 days (my norm because I am lazy), there are furballs rolling around like tumbleweed. The neato picked all that up!! Now I had to empty the small dust bin quite a few times, but on day 3, I see that I could probably let the dust bin go for maybe a week before emptying. I will probably schedule this for every other day or maybe daily depending on what I see accumulating. Now for the bad- my battery only lasts 30 mins. Why didn't I deduct any stars? I called tech support and told them about my battery. Without question they sent me a new one. I haven't gotten it yet, so hopefully that solves the issue. If it doesn't, I have complete faith in their customer service. It was really good! I also like the fact that almost everything is user serviceable. The brush is easy to take out and comes apart easily. I can even replace parts on the brush itself vs buying a new one. The batteries are easy to get to and replaceable. The charger also opens up and inside is basically a laptop style charger that can be replaced. Even better, the neato has a mini (not micro) USB port for firmware upgrades. I upgraded to 3.1 and it now does a better job on corners. I hope they continue to release updates. I have my charger hidden (I did not follow the 3' clear path rule) and it seems to be able to find the base. It did get stuck once finding the base, so I will keep an eye out. I didn't want to have this out in the open. I want it hidden from view.

Pro's:
Great customer care
User serviceable parts
Almost replaces your regular vac

Con's:
My batteries are a dud (but I didn't mind too much since I had to empty the dustbin during each recharge)
Once the dust bin did not alert me that it was full, so once I get the new batteries in I will see if this will alert me or not.
It doesn't dust nor clean my bathtub/sink ;-)
If this lasts me 3yrs, I really can't say many bad things about it. Even 1yr beats the cost of a housekeeper.

Tips:
Use a hand vac to clean the filter
Even better I found that the brush attachment on my big vac really cleaned the filter (just not as easy as a hand vac).
I also used the crevice tool to get the dust bits out of the dust bin. (Accumulated dust)

My bottom line is that if you need help cleaning your house, get this! I was smiling today looking at my clean carpets!

I needed a new hose and with the length of this, I can reach plenty more spaces without the need to move the vacuum.
