Does the handle go in straight down the top or is it angled from the side?

Straight up, but works very well going under chairs, couches etc. I love mine, have had it over a year.

On the side where you connect the handle. Open the top and it is right there.

When you psh down on the bar for folding the handle it also releases the handle to slide back in. It is a little stiff at first and you will probably have to wiggle it from side to side while applying downward pressure but it wil work itself out in time so you won't need to wiggle it.

On the side. The handle and water hose both go on the side, and the bag that catches everything goes on the top.

They slant slightly outward. It's very sturdy and performed well in a 10" space.

The bottom of the handle locks it upright into the base vacuum. I usually sit in a corner.

The handle swivels to one side only, which is OK. If you can tolerate a kettle that whispers instead of whistling and that has a lid that is hard to get on and off -- then this one is for you.

The one I got is smooth. The handle is also shorter than I thought it would be

Since the handle is straight, it can be configured as either left or right handed. The handle should face toward the interior of the door, away from the wall.

I was originally going to mount it with the handle in front but I put it in sideways and it works just fine. I had a space problem putting the handle in front. My Corian sink is undermounted to the Corian top and the hole drilled needed to be offset another 3/8 of an inch to work. I would not worry about putting the handle to the side the way it's pictured. My marital factor initially disapproved of the side setup, but has not complained since day one.

The handle moves both up and down. But it holds itself either way. Very good.

Yes; we ended up putting the handle at an angle because our sink is an antique and the backsplash was very close. Otherwise, easy install.

The handle is oval shaped. It seems to be solid. I like it, and will probably get another.

It actually is pretty straight, there is a little indentation at the bottom where the foot pedal is though. But other than that it is straight down on all sides.

Handle is 9", strainer is 4". Yes, handle is angled like a ladle. It is very nice. I had ordered it for my husband to strin his fish frier. He loves it! He also loves the fine strainer. I Think you will like.
