It seems pretty neat. I would love to forget about vacuuming. I'm too lazy

No but I have a Dyson and absolutely love it.

After using it in a back to back test with the old Oreck there is no comparison.

It does look very cool. I would like to see how good it works. I cant imagine something that small being able to suck up much.

I have one...I've had it for a little over a year now and I love it. As long as you use it frequently, it does a good job.

Decent. Spooked the hell out of the ferrets and dog for a while.

Currently have one in my office (I am a big pig) one in the garage and a couple roaming around on the main floor.

Come to think of it I have not seen the garage unit in a while. Wonder if it escaped.

Maybe the ferrets killed it.
