Comment:

I bought this Featherlite for a rental property, where an expensive vacuum might disappear. Motor is powerful and reliable, but noisy. Good for carpets, but don't rely on hose attachments for long-term use. The plastic end of the hose cracked and hose will not stay attached to vacuum. Definitely not strong enough for use by teenagers.

How long have you owned it:

More than six months

Bottom Line

No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Comment:

This little darlin' will suck the chrome off a trailer hitch. Cheap, easy to use. Probably won't last forever, but then for [$], who cares? Have gone from Kirby to top of line Hoover and Kenmore. This vac is as good as the rest and lightweight.

How long have you owned it:

One-to-three months

Bottom Line

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
