Can't go wrong with Oreck.  This is the best compact vacuum ever.

I highly recommend this vacuum. I received it two weeks ago after purchasing on Amazon and it is hands down the most superior vacuum I have ever owned, and definitely outperforms other vacuums I have paid a lot more for.

I always shop the field and do fairly extensive research for all consumer purchases. We consulted Consumer Reports and this model ranked fairly high in overall performance yet had a reasonable price tag. We have about 1800 square feet of carpet, most of it medium-pile. We have one australian shepard, three manx cats, and a two-year-old child, so pet hair and dander pick-up were important to us, as well as filtering.

This model comes in a bagged version, the bagless version (the one I bought), and a bagless self-propelled version. I found the bagged version in some local stores, but I am not interested in a bagged vacuum. My local Costco carried the self-propelled version, but it was very very heavy and besides I just don't understand why the self-propelled feature even exists.

This vacuum is very quiet for it's power. It has exceedingly powerful suction. The dirt sensor has two modes - normal and sensitive. The sensitive setting is truly microscopically sensitive. The vacuum is relatively light weight for its size. Either way, this feature works and it is helpful in high-traffic areas.

Best Feature #1: The canister is almost "self-cleaning". You have to see it to understand, but there are two chambers...the first chamber contains the primary filter, and then all the medium and course particulate and hair and whatnot fill the second chamber. To empty, you just drop the bottom like most canisters, but the difference is that there is nothing in the second chamber for the course matter to get caught up on so it just empties right out without your having to fuss with it, and then the filter (this is genius) rotates via an exterior handle that unfolds from the canister. You spin the filter, and it spins against a plastic tab inside the canister, causing all the fine particulate to just drop out the bottom. When you are done you canister is almost brand new again, and you are dust-free and NOT breathing a bunch of crap!

Best Feature #2: I don't know how this is happening, but this vacuum rolls so easily it FEELS like it is self-propelled. Only it's not. I think it must have exceedingly high quality wheels.

Our house smells better after running this vacuum. We breath easier. This vacuum is so good I would by it new every six months if I had to. We paid about $180 with shipping, an absolute bargain given its performance and features. Oh yeah, the detachable pet hair attachment actually works!

Seriously this is the best vacuum ever. I couldn't be happier. So convenient and I vacuum my house several days a week now (which is now quick and easy to grab it and spend a few minutes) instead of lugging out my corded vacuum once every week or two like before.

This is a great vacuum. I can't believe I didn't have it before. It is a handy tool to have and so so helpful. I hope it last long time. It works exactly as you expect a handheld vacuum to work. The suction power is great and I am able to suck up everything that is small enough to fit through the nozzle and dusts are easily captured. It is fairly light and the battery life is fantastic. I highly recommend this awesome vacuum.

This is a good powerful vacuum. Best I've ever bought or owned. The portability and fact that everything fits in one place is awesome. Easily stores in the garage or shed and the whole thing is quality. I've only used it dry so far, but I've had it for about a month and am very happy with it.

This is the best vacuum I've ever owned. It cleans very well and it is so easy to maintain. I can easily locate clogs in the pipes as well as clean. So not only is it great at cleaning, I alsoI feel good about using it because I can easily clean or replace the filters so I know the air coming out is clean.

Amazing!  Best vacuum ever.  I wish you could change the battery out or use the vacuum while plugged in, as the battery life is a little short but it is so powerful and convenient it's worth waiting for.  I do use it in conjunction with my regular vacuum though for that reason.

EUROFELX MONSTER has manufactured on of the best little vacuum cleaners around - even better than the higher priced, highly publicized other similarly styled supposedly lightweight hand and stock vacuums that are I the stores right now. This is a very small machine - that is to say, the high powered motor/vacuum chamber portion is about the size of a football and it can be used as a short tool with the various attachments in small areas like your car, a closet, on furniture, etc. The beauty, though, is that with the included 2 part tubing the vacuum can be used as a standup, clean the floor or stairs or ceiling or other long range cleaning areas. There are 3 attachments - a broad floor cleaner, a crevice tool, a smaller brush for table tops that is adjust able to become an upholstery or coat cleaner (so consider it 4 attachments in reality).

The sound is quiet but the vacuum is very strong - surprisingly strong for such a small motor (500 watts), This is a bagless system  - the debris sucked into the machine is filtered by an easily washable filter and the clutter picked up by your cleaning goes into a plastic cup, easily emptied into the garbage.

The vacuum is smartly designed not only for its uses but also for its appearance. For the price this is an extremely helpful addition to your home - especially to keep in the office or in the kitchen or in any small but regularly used space. Highly recommended. Grady Harp, March 14

Five stars!!!. This unit is extremely powerful and compact. The cleaning solution and the rotating brush head can be activated by pressing a conveniently placed power button on the neck of the brush head.  It is designed to fit on stairs so there is no concern about missing areas on the rug or discovering the hose is too short. It is extremely powerful and can extract all the water on a high pile rug.  Every component is designed to fit compactly on the unit for compact storage. It is difficult find  portable rug cleaners  for comparison because most stores don't handle rug cleaners.  I had a brandname upright rug cleaner that did a fair job but was difficult to clean, cumbersome and could not be used on stairs and after a couple of times died.

This little guy is great for small jobs.  We use it when it's inconvenient to use a full sized vacuum.  My daughter lives in a small apartment without carpet and it's her only vacuum.  I hope they never discontinue this model.  No other portable/cordless vacuum is in its league.

This is a great little vacuum.  It's so easy to use.  I am actually able to vacuum my carpets as well as my central vac does.  Which doesn't make me happy about my central vac.

This little va just simply amazes me.  I can usely do about half of my house with one charge.  There's no bending or stuping because there are no cords to mess with.  It's easy to break out and use and also put away.  Charging is simply, you just pull out the battery and plug it into the charger and go about your business.  All in all this vacuum is the easiest and best rechargeable vacuum I have ever used.  And it does a great job.

This little vacuum packs a punch. It copes very well with three long hair cats and virtually anything else. It is the best hand vacuum i have ever had.  Only one drawback I can think of - it is not rechargeable

This is a really terrific vacuum cleaner. It's very light and portable; quite maneuverable, with a ball-and-socket type of steering mechanism; very powerful suction; adjustable height to accommodate various floor/carpet conditions; and best of all IT'S BAGLESS.

That's right; no wrestling with bags, spraying debris all over the place while you try to dis-attach them from the unit and close and dispose of them. The stuff the unit picks up goes right into a canister that easily unclips from the interior of the unit's head and dumps everything right into your trash container. Easy-peasy.

Quite frankly, I think this is the best home vacuum I've ever owned.

I live in a smaller apartment which is why I chose this vacuum.  I'm loving that I can just dump out the particles instead of continually buying bags for this product.  It's very compact (folds down and is also just thin in general), so it's easy to hide even out in the open.  The vacuum bends all the way down to the floor to get under the couch and tables.  When lain on the ground, it's only about five inches tall, so it can get under most furniture.  The cord's pretty long; about as long as most vacuums.  The nose is easy to change (just pull the head out and replace with the extension.

My only complaint is that it doesn't include a hepafilter (catches smaller particles from escaping) but come on, this thing's 20some bucks.  Also, the unit could have used some kind of clip to hold the extension.  The extension just sits in the closet, but not a big deal.

It's held up for the whole year now and if I needed to buy a new vacuum for any reason, I'd buy this one again.  HIGHLY recommended for apartments.

This is the best vacuum cleaner I have ever owned, hands down!  It cleans my wood floors and my carpeted sunroom without any adjustments better than my corded vacuum ever did!  It is so easy to grab for small jobs and cleans my whole house with one charge.  Its power is unbelievable and it is so lightweight!  I love it!  The switch you hold down is effortless.  I still cannot believe I own a product this amazing!

My old canister vac just wasn't getting the job done anymore; not only was it heavy and cumbersome, when it came to picking up dirt and pet hair, I could do a better job with a broom and dustpan.  With 2 dogs and grandchildren, I needed a heavy duty vacuum cleaner; however, with back problems, I just could not lug around a heavy machine.  When I started shopping and comparing, I shied away from the Dyson due to the cost, but the longer I looked, the more everything and everyone recommended it.  Finally, I broke down and bought the Dyson Animal.  Our household has seen many vacuum cleaners come and go through the years but I will say this is the best ever.  This thing is appropriately named 'Animal'  - pet hair hasn't a chance - it will actually lift the carpet from the floor!  It is so lightweight that my 'little helper' granddaughter can use it.  The attachments are handily stored on the handle.  No more money thrown away on stinky, messy, dusty bags - with the flick of a finger, the tank is emptied.  I love everything about this cleaner - just wish I'd bought one years ago!

I like this vacuum so much I bought another when my old one broke! It's important to note, I had abused my old one by vacuuming some vile s***. What I like about this vacuum so much is that it's extremely compact and light, but more than capable of vaccuming the entire household. I live in shared housing, so my stuff is restricted to a small 10x10 room--it's perfect for storing in a small closet.
