Nearly Ideal Corded Hand Vac
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) Somewhere between a heavy duty floor vac with attachments and a wet towel, lies the Scorpion. This niche ideally would be filled by the Dustbuster, but as others have lamented, Dustbuster like devices don't last long enough to really complete most jobs. Cleaning depends entirely on the size of the mess, so its difficult to predict how long a vacuum need be run. With a corded vacuum of s...

Watch your fingers!
Oh man is this some powerful suction. It picked up large pieces of cat food and litter sitting two to three inches in front of it. I waved my hand in front of its mouth and it actually sucked down my index finger. (Uhh, I won't be doing that again!)
The upholstery attachment was the most useful for me. I used it to clean my area rugs and furniture. (My rugs are now a different color.) When the brush got full of hair, I simply plucked it off, held it in front of the vacuum in mid...

This thing sucks!
Tech Level: high
Ownership: 1 month to 1 year
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: It sucks! That's a good thing with vacuums! The first time I turned it on it almost jumped out of my hand because I wasn't expecting it to have so much power. I bought it to clean all the dust and dirt out of my computers and it does a great job of it.
Cons: The filter is hard to get clean.

Exactly what I was Expecting, maybe a little more
We are fostering a rescue cat for a few months and need to keep it separated from our other cats, so we have a litterbox in an area we would prefer not to. Despire trying to keep the area clean, litter was getting tracked around a little bit, and would inevitably end up collecing just out of reach under the baseboard. This vacuum, with its little pointy flip-tip, gets into those kinds of nooks and crannies and sucks out the litter. It is pretty powerful for its little size, and has a nice lon...

Really Surprised How Strong This Vacuum Is
in picking up hair and animal hair. Crevice quick flip makes it easy to use for hard to reach places, picking up the dirt! Downside is the small dirt container but that is minor vs. the power this small machine has.

Likely the best hand-held available.
The power on this thing is unreal; it pretty much picks up anything you need it too. The only downside is that the cup fills kind of quickly. Otherwise, you can't do without it.

Better than a Shark!
A friend bought one of those Shark handhelds you see on tv picking up marbles and other stuff. I bought this because it was about $10 cheaper. It's worked far better for a few reasons. The power is amazing - I think better than the Shark. The flip-down crevice tool is invaluable - I use it all the time. The front-end on the Scorpion is more square and makes more sense in the shape than the rounded one on the Shark - I mean, how many people vacuum things that are always round? This is money...

best vacuum i've ever owned
i count this as one of my top purchases of all time. its pretty much as powerful as an upright but not as bulky. perfect for my very small apartment and for cleaning cars. great value and it gives you kind of a rush when you use it because it is so much suction in a small package.

A different viewpoint
After reading the reviews, I expected a lot, and I did not get it. This vacuum is heavy and awkward to hold. The dust cup is really tiny and needs to be emptied very often. What I find most annoying about this vacuum is the FILTER, which gets dirty almost instantly, and it is a very nasty job trying to get the dust and dirt off of the filter in order to restore suction. The accompaning extension is too short and looses suction. I had hoped to use this around the house in places that my standar...

OH HELL YEAH VACUUM!
Check it out, I just got this vacuum. It sucks like a crazy SOB. It's so awesome. I had it switched on when I plugged it in and it flipped over from the EXTREME power. I was like, "Holy crap" when I seen it flip. It's so loud, it sounds like a jet fighter! It cleans EVERYTHING. It even comes with an arm strap so you can travel with it! Oh god! I love this vacuum! IT'S FREAKING AWESOME!
