There's enough reviews on this product to get a pretty good idea how it works. In general I agree with the majority. This unit is about 5 pounds in weight and does not have wheels. It does a great job on the steps both flats and risers. It would also work well in the car or pet cages using the hose. The filter comes out easy enough. The cloth clogs quickly and will most likely need to be rinsed after every one or two sessions. There is room for the cord to wind on the back of the housing but the attachment clip on th plug is difficult to secure.All in all, this is very good at what it does but it's uses are limited.
