Bought for a small apartment, didn't want a huge vacuum to take up space.Pros:Space saving size, simple, effective design. Not a lot of pieces to break or get lost. Does the job and cleans well.Cons:A little narrower than I'd anticipated, leads to a few more passes to cover an area.Hose attachment is not very long and doesn't extend easily, don't buy this if you want to use the hose a lot.It's also very loud, as far as vacuums go. This has a very high pitch compared to others I've used.Overall I'm happy with it, but if I had a larger apartment I might opt for a bigger vacuum with a better hose.
