I bought one at Bed, Bath, & Beyond and I really like it. This offer is better than what I got. Mine doesn't have the bend arm feature and they charged 39.99 for one. I had a 20% off coupon so ended up paying 31.99 for one so this offer is better.

It takes up dirt on carpets and wood floors. Only thing is it is kinda fragile and will turn over when you go from one surface to another if there is a bump between the two. I also do not put much pressure on it.

I like it for the 360 degree turn it does and it gets in places other vacuum's can't. I like the battery since it slips into the holder and that plugs into the wall. Also, to dump the dirt is so easy and you don't have to inhale the dust.

I can't use my last stick vacuum which was The Boss from Eureka since I lost the filter. It was studier but the head does not swivel. This swivel one is for smaller jobs IMO but I still like it and use it between getting my large sweeper out.

I don't have one but here are some reviews on them.

I HAD one. It picks up stuff on carpeting and hard floors very well. But like another poster said, it can tip over if you hit a bump or go to fast, which will result in a bunch of the debris falling back out of the sweeper.

On ours, the battery charge didn't last long before we had to plug it in again. And of course, if the battery isn't charged to its fullest, it doesn't pick up well.

The biggest problem we had with it is that since we all have long hair, the rollers would get way overloaded with hair and it was very hard to get out.

Thanks everyone...the reviews I found too, said the battery life was 3 months and then you had to replace another $20 so I think we are gonna pass...

Well that sucks if I need to replace the battery all the time. Guess I will see how long it lasts. Wonder if they will replace them for free. It is kind of cheaply made but so far doing the job I bought it for.

And never let your hubby throw out the dirt from your vacuum----he will also throw the filter away. Roll eyes.

ours is ok, doesnt pick up pet hair very well, imo, but we stupidly bought black rugs with a fawn colored dog, lol
its good on the laminate and tile types
I agree about the long hair also, it is always stuck in the rollers

I've always had short haired pets but I can identify with the long hair. When I had my sewing business I had long threads that got stuck in my little Bissell sweeper. I had to cut them out but that is not really hard to do. Just take a sharp pointed scissors and cut along one section then pull the hair out. Annoying but doable. HTH
