Amazon Basics Upright Bagless Vacuum Cleaner for Carpet and Hard Floors, With Crevice and Upholstery Tools, Detachable Handle, Lightweight (8.4 lbs), 1.7L Dust Cup, 720W, 25ft Cord, Black/White

5 stars for the price and performance. Of course, make sure this kind of product fits your use case. It is a small and very light weight vacuum. It has excellend suction and does a great job on carpet and floors. I use it for mostly carpet. does a great job picking up pet hair too. After several cordless vacuum tries, I wanted a light and easy to maneuver machine. Yes, you have to plug it in, but that is the only way to get good suction and cleaning power in a vacuum! Notice that the cord is 25 feet, which is longer than most brands give you. There is no height adjustment, but it does not matter for my use. It's basically a no frills machine that does what it needs to do very well. I like the fact that the filter is washable, but I would suspect the filtration is minimal compared to more expensive machines. For the price of this vacuum, you can't beat it. I compared it to the similar Eureka and Bissell models which are almost identical, but this had more bang for the buck; watts of power, lenght of cord, lower, price. Very satisfied.

Extremely easy clean up, not a lot of hidden Filters to clean just one filter. The section was extremely good. Bristol brush on spindlewheel are limited rows but they are firm to agitate the carpet fibers that have been compressed down due to traffic. So the strong suction can get deep within the corporate to pull up dirt and dust. Honestly for the size and how lightweight it was. I thought there was no way this has a strong enough motor to suck up and clean my carpet in this singwide mobile home all my floor traffic is 1 long track. We also have a African Gray bird that throws his unwanted food all over. Amazon's basic upright bagless vacuum cleaner handled Extreme high traffic carpet and bird food of all sizes without any problems at all. It quickly picked up all the dirt very quickly. We are also extremely long hair and older so we have lots of hair all-round the home. And I was amazed the roller did not get tangled up with all our very long hair. Plus it is not to noisy it runs fairly quiet. It looks good and does a fabulous job with out the high price tag. By doing the job better than I could imagine it would have been capable of doing for me. I highly recommend this vacuum cleaner it's lightweight easy mobility to move it around, I already bragged about it to 2 of my neighbors and told them you'll be amazed with the very low cost to get beautiful wonderful complete cleaning job it does for your carpets and floors..

We had a 20-yearold Eureka bagless that broke, and this was the nearest we found. Glad we did! It's a little larger than the broken one, but a bit less large, heavy and cumbersome than our old Hoover upright. And a lot lighter in weight! This one (somehow) came with the extra pet-hair mini roller brush, but I had to go look up the Bissell version on line to find out how to take it apart for cleaning the mini roller. Works the same, and the device is REALLY useful for getting into small places. We have a long-hair cat. With 8 amps, this thing really pulls up dirt! Seriously pulls up dirt! I set it to the low "Carpet" level, for an old shag carpet in the trailer house. I'm living here, but the owner's been here for a long time. I've been cleaning with that old Eureka, and it's (I thought) been pretty clean. I was getting a lot of fuzz, cat hair, and some fine dirt, but all in all, okay. Then I used this guy! Holy Cow!! The first pass after setting it up, there was almost an entire "bucket" container of something greyish-brown. Plus a lot of fuzz and a lot of cat hair. I asked the owner, who told me that many years ago, she'd had a flea problem and sprinkled diatomaceous earth all over. Fixed the fleas, but she never cleaned the carpets. Suddenly, I'm using this new Eureka and it's pulling EVERYthing out of the carpet! After only two times using it (back in April; it's now September), almost all that "dust" was gone. Now, I'm getting general dirt, cat hair, dust and carpet fuzz. Normal. 1. After the first-time use, with the massive amount of "newly discovered" dirt, the roller bar was almost entirely clear! No wrapped hair or anything gunked up in the brush bristles. Amazing! 2. Disassembling for cleaning, I found that the main vacuum body was almost entirely clean! No outer dust anywhere on the plastic. The only dust was at the connection hole between the body and the container bucket -- easy to clean with a swipe of a sponge or rag. 3. Cleaning the container and filter was pretty simple, but a little bit of time involved. Cleaning: A push-button on the top handle releases the catch bin as a complete unit unto itself. There's another button near the bottom of that basin, which then releases a gravity-operated "lid." BE SURE TO KEEP THE BOTTOM OF THE BUCKET WELL BELOW THE UPPER EDGE OF YOUR TRASH CONTAINER! By pushing the release button to open the bottom of the bucket, you're simply dropping out ALL the crud you've picked up in the catch basin! It comes flying out, dust-cloud and all! Still, there's some remaining junk clinging to the clear plastic bucket walls. I like "BANG!" cleaner spray, which is cheap (Dollar Tree), and works very well. I also have a spray attachment on the kitchen sink, which makes it very easy to get water inside the bucket "tube." There's a plastic "clasp" or catch you pull on, to open the top of the overall basin. I'd imagine that catch will eventually break, but who knows.....none of the plastic on the 20-yearold ever broke. With the bottom open and the top hinged back, you can clean the entire catch basin. It's large enough (easily) that you can get your hand in there with a sponge. The BANG! makes it easier, and water rinses it all out. The entire filter section comes apart, which is why I bought this. You lift out the filter assembly (the instruction manual shows how), and there are several parts. The filter itself is foam with some sort of paper on top. It's there to prevent dust from blowing into the motor, and both the bottom (foam) and top (paper) got totally covered with dust. Being gentle with it, I was easily able to clean it under running water. I couldn't find these round filters anywhere in stores, so ordered a 6-pack of replacements on Amazon. Not all that expensive. I've used and cleaned this vacuum now probably 8 times (since April, it's now September), and the filter is still pretty together. I can see it's going to degrade, but if it lasts four months (or more), then I only need to replace it three times a year. Very cost effective. And this place has all the old micro dust along with the cat hair, so the filter has to get cleaned after each use. For "normal people" and their homes, I think you could use the cleaner several times without cleaning every single time. The attachments are all there, easily stored on the body of the machine. The hose attaches to the roller base during upright use, and comes loose to attach to the handle for portable use. DO follow the instruction manual! The places for the attachments, and how to connect the different hose operations aren't immediately obvious. Some people complain that the roller bar always turns. The old Eureka had a 2-way switch for upright (with roller bar), and portable (for smooth floors and portable use). This power switch only is On/Off. I don't care. You can raise the level of the roller for "wood floors," if it really makes you anxious. All in all, having sold vacuum cleaners in the past, I'd have to say this is one of the most powerful machines I've ever seen for its size, weight, and price! Yes, it's all plastic, to keep the weight around 8-10lbs or so, but today's plastics are pretty rugged. I'm thinking it'll last long enough to be a good investment.

This thing really sucks hard... but in a good way! I was very impressed despite its light weight and plasticky look. Lucky I didn't buy it for looks.

Very pleased. I'm a professional house cleaner and this little machine is giving my other vacuums a run for their money. Lightweight, affordable. Only thing is the hose is not very long (maybe 2 feet) but it's so light weight it's easy to lift the machine up.

It does have great suction but is very noisy.

It's worth the money

Comparable to many brand name vacuums around this price point, but it is very loud.
