Fine with us:
We have a small apartment with hard surfaces (no rug, no carpet). This little hoover does the jobs and is not too bad to remove the cat hairs on our sofa. The metal tube does fall off from the plastic one from time to time, though.
Piece of junk!:
you get what you pay for. Almost every part of this poorly designed vac cleaner has a fault. so let's start:
1) carpet/ floor nozzle doesn't stay in "brush setting" for hardwood floor

Good little vacuum:
This is a good little vacuum and I can't complain about the price. It's light but powerful. One problem...the metal wand constantly detaches from the plastic wand it attaches to.
