Promising review: “I got this little handheld to do the stairs in my home. I have a Dyson that takes care of the bigger areas, but lugging that thing up the stairs was doing damage to my back. The attachment on the Dyson wasn’t leaving the “lines” in the rug, so it was all for naught. This leaves the lines on my stairs and is MUCH easier to take around. I also found that removing the top part allows for much easier cleaning around my 3 bird cages and along the baseboards. I will forever be glad I got this device.” — Tina and Nick
