I bought it for the lift-off feature to clean stairs easier. It does lift off but the hose is too short to get too far from the canister (you have to carry the canister in one hand and operate the hose with the other) My real problem with the unit is in the engineering. The hose detaches from the base (as is necessary for the lift off) however, the connection when it is NOT detached leaks. It has a rubber grommet which would be better if it was able to slide inside the hose end to complete the vacuum and complete the suction. I also have problems with the dirt cup. Maybe the dirt in my house is special dirt, but it seems as though dirt gets everywhere that it shouldn't go in the machine. maybe that is why it has so many filters. The vacuum says "no loss of suction" but I guess you can't lose what you don't have. One good thing is the filter which apparently you just keep cleaning and never have to replace. Although you have to wait 24 hours between cleaning and using again.

Bought this Hoover air Lift Deluxe at the store, had the clerk price match the online sale for $128 which was a steal. Now I see it's listed even lower, definitely worth it for the money! - it's easy enough to assemble, however some of the side tools kept falling off during use so we just removed them and put in the closet. - Bin and tools are easy to use, filters look easy to remove, clean and replace - Everything is clear so you can see all the dirt and stuff that gets picked. I kinda like this, some people may not - Works great on our carpets and bare floors, so nice to have a button to turn off the roller brush In response to some of the reviews I've seen on here: - Yes, it's heavy, but I don't mind it, the handle is at a comfortable angle and the vacuum is easy to push. It is harder to pull, but I'd imagine a lot is more because you're pulling against the brush roller. The lift top handle makes it easier to carry up and down stairs . . . But I'd still think twice before buying this for my grandmother. - Yes, the brush roller path is smaller than most other vacuums, but again I don't mind it. It fits in tight places and slides pretty far under and around furniture. - No, it's not hard to control with the swivel. I found myself "steering" the vacuum a lot more than I thought I would, it helps create a nature flow . . . but if you have a soft grip, I could see how this could be challenging. - Yes, it picks up all sorts of things. There was baked soda left in the carpet from our old bagged Kenmore vacuum from 2 months ago that this vacuum picked up!!! I only noticed it because you can see stuff coming up through the brush roller! - you can roll it on the wheels for transportation. I don't think you can do this easy enough with the Dyson Ball A few drawbacks: - The suction is so great with the tools that it takes some strength to manipulate them. Vacuuming 15 stairs with the power brush in one hand, and the lift off canister in the other is tiring and can be difficult. - The place were the power cord winds up is close to where everything snaps back together, so we have to re-engage the canister on the floor part before wrapping up the cord. - The fit and finish is pretty good, except the spot wear the dust bin inlet and hose meet up. it's slight off on ours, see the pictures, and I wonder if these types of intersections would cause any leaks in down the road. - Overall I'd definitely recommend this product, especially at the sale prices, it seems to be of high quality and is very effective at it's job.

This is the best vacuum I have purchased since purchasing vacuums for over 25yrs. I usually have to purchase a new vacuum every year but I highly doubt it this time. This one has good power and good attachments. It also works as a canister to detatch from the upright to get stairs or reach high withe the attachments. Excellent vacuum and it is stylish too. :-)
