What can I say? Two years since I purchased and this little machine is still kicking. Pros: I purchased it initially for a one bedroom apartment. Minimal carpet except in the bedroom, you could say that it was perfect for what we needed. It was portable and very easy to hide in out 800 sq ft apartment. The fact that I could pull it apart made it even more so when I needed to take it on a job and do some light vacuuming on my workspace. The cord was long and never once did I feel constrained within my space. The suction on the handheld mode was amazing, I would frequently sweep up and then collect it in the handheld mode. It also kept our couches clean. Maintenance on the dirt devil was a breeze as I felt confident the filter and most other components were clean within 10 minutes. Cons: I didn’t notice until I moved into a bigger space but I felt the portion that connected to the vacuum with wheels couldn’t really cut it for bigger jobs, like when I moved into a three bed home. The roller would get clogged and make it difficult to get through the house without having to stop and pull out whatever was in there. Hair and fur are especially bad and left me wanting more. The suction was also not very strong. I would have to go over the same spots multiple times to feel like it was clean. And then on hardwood, I would come back over with a sweep. But the disparity was not so apparent until I bought a new vacuum, Dyson V7, and went over the same spots after vacuuming with the dirt devil only to pick up lots of stuff I didn’t realize it was missing. Take away: The power express is a worthwhile investment for small space <800 sqft or maybe a car. At the price point, it’s hard to argue with its effectiveness.

I like it, my sister loves it. Pros: lightweight, easy to clean, great at picking up dust, can clean under furniture pretty far, can clean small spaces fast. Cons: occasionally leaves things behind, not as powerful a suction as I'd like (my sister disagrees with me on the cons). Overall, works great on my hardwood floors and rugs.

I have a 900 sq ft apartment with mostly vinyl flooring and two carpeted bedrooms. This vacuum works perfectly for my needs! No, it's not a heavy duty carpet vacuum, but that's not what I need. I need something to clean up dirt and debris on the vinyl floor and wayward kitty litter in the bedroom. Plus I love that I can detach it to be a handheld vacuum for furniture too. And because it plugs into the wall, I don't have to worry about the battery dying before I'm done with my cleaning frenzy. So far, I am very happy with this purchase. If you have heavy duty cleaning needs, this is not your vacuum. It's good for lighter cleaning needs, although I'm finding that it's good enough that I don't need a heavy duty vacuum.

This product was purchased because my mom has a shoulder injury and can't push a heavy machine. This vacuum is light weight, picks up everything with minimum ease, and can easily be emptied. I worry if it will last long term, but to date it is used multiple times every day and has not has a single issue. Great product for the price.

I love this vacuum. It’s so lightweight and very easy to handle. The cord is a perfect length for my apartment. It is also very easy to clean.
