This is by no means the "best vacuum that money can buy", but it does a wonderful job for why I bought it. I bought it simply for cleaning under furniture, under baseboard heaters, and all the crevices my regular vacuum can't get at (my favored regular vac is an upright with no attachments). Besides the regular nozzle, this vac has only a crevice tool (though I do plan to purchase a furniture/ dusting attachment separately for about $5 at my local hardware store). It is lightweight, and best of all it has an automatic cord retraction! The bags cannot be found in your local department store, but I have no trouble finding them online here at Amazon, and at other online vac shops (check your manual-- the bags have a different number than c-13-- use that when searching for them online). As long as this is not going to be your primary vacuum in a home full of high pile carpets, you will not be dissapointed. Kudos for an inexpensive supplemental vacuum!
