Powerful, Noisy, Awkward
I got this vac for cleaning up a small space, just a room, and did not need a whole upright thing.
I can say that this unit must have a very powerful motor- when you turn it on, it sounds like a Corvette at 6000 rpm and there does not seem to be anything built into the product to lessen this clamor.
The unfortunate thing is that all this power as you would think from the sound(s) that it makes does not seem to translate into a lot of suction power. But the brush is very powerful and di...

"Ultra power".....haha, that's a joke.
If only we had went online and look at these reviews before buying this little monster, we would ALL be a happier family. Not only is this thing LOUD, it SHRIEKS. I've gotten headaches from using this thing. And the suction power doesn't make up for it at all. I've had to pick up some pretty obvious dirt bits, while it just glides over/pushes it around. The hot air being blown in your face is also extremely unpleasent. Try being in a car in the middle of June with a furnace blowing in your face...

Good suction, ear-piercingly loud
This vacuum has good suction power. I haven't come across many things that it won't pick up, including mammoth-sized cat litter crystals. Since you pretty much have to carry it with you the whole time you're using it, your arm will probably go numb from the intense vibration of the motor. Also, I can't warn you enough about how loud this thing is. I suggest putting on some earphones and cranking up the MP3 player first, to create a sound buffer against the onslaught.
I had a bit of a...

Loud, Heavy & Bulky -- not a good car vac
This vacuum proved too loud, heavy and bulky. I almost never used the Devil as a normal handheld vac, instead opting to attach and use the included hose when cleaning carpet debris in my car. However, the hose is not long enough to comfortably vacuum your car without either holding the vacuum in one hand and vacuuming with the other, or placing the vacuum down inside your car as you vacuum (excruciatingly loud, and it seemed to effectively swirl/spew dust around my already dirty car interior -- ...

Good power but veeeeeery loud
This little guy has good power, and does its job as advertised -- but it's also extraordinarily loud. We've finally decided to buy a different model, because it's just too painful to our ears.

It started smoking!
I was very dissatisfied with this product. I purchased it and within 45 seconds of the first use, it began to smell awful. I turned it over and realized it was literally smoking. Not only was it defective, but also dangerous.Needless to say, I returned it and got a refund.

FIRE HAZARD
I bought this vac to help clean up behind my 19 month old daughter and my 2 pets. I used it once without a problem, seemed to work reasonably well for a hand vac. The 2nd time I used it I was cleaning up kitty litter tracked from the litter box. The 1st pass went fine but then as i was getting ready to make a 2nd pass to finish the job it started whining and it stopped working. I turned the machine off, checked for any clogs or hair of any kind that may be causing the interference but i foun...
