Bad suction
I’ve had this vacuum for about 3 years. The first year I loved it. But the suction power has definitely declined. For example I will vacuum up something thinking and when I turn it off all of it falls back down to the floor. Also hair just wraps around it so badly. In its defense I have very long hair so it’s just gets stuck easily… I do like how light it is so I can use easily on my stairs. I would’ve given at least 3 stars but trully the suctions on it is really bad.

Good for quick pick ups. Wear ear plugs.
Pro tip: I would highly recommend wearing ear plugs when you use this because the motor is much closer to your ears than a standard vacuum and it is very loud. It picks up a decent amount of dirt and pet hair. It doesn't completely replace my standard vacuum but very decent for what it is, basically a glorified dust buster. The canister is easy to flip open and dump out the waste. Good for in-between the deep cleanings. Works well on standard rugs but not washable rugs (no way to regulate the suction and the thin washable rugs get sucked right up into it). I would buy it again.

Not for kids and pets
I bought this vacuum based on other reviews. Unfortunately, it will not work for my families daily life. We have kids and multiple pets. I do not think the suction is as strong as it claims to be. I have to push forward and back multiple times to get little things off carpet. I also do not like how hot air blows out on your arm when vacuuming because of the placement. I’m giving it 2 stars because it is lightweight! If you live alone without kids or hairy pets then this vacuum will probably work for you.

I’ve had this vacuum for 2 years now. It’s still holding up great! Really easy to use, durable, great suction power. I’ve used it for my dogs and cat.

Worked ok for a little while until the hose on the vacuum head completely tore. How that's even possible is beyond me. you get what you pay for

Great Vacuum for the price
I just bought this vacuum for the second time. My first one I had for years and it was great. I think it is great for the price! This one is very powerful and perfect for my apartment and cleaning up pet hair.

This little gadget has great suction power, was easy to get started and is very lightweight. Found myself enjoying the vacuuming process. The test for me is how will it work on my thick shaggy eyelash rug and my carpeted stairs? 10/10 performance I even vacuumed the underside of the rug. One attachment tool is super skinny for the corners and the other one actually deep cleaned the stairs really well. Picked up a lot from the hard floors too. I like that the hand vac is connected to the cord so you get a good clean without limits to how far it will reach Not sure how long it will last but it does a thorough job. Does not stand up on its own and it’s a little heavy when using just the hand vac but I don’t care. Took a minute to get the dust cup open but that means you wint have any accidental spills either

Suction is amazing. Easy to empty cord is substantial. Little heavy but for its purpose it’s fine

wrong item
I personally love this vacuum and have used it for the last 12 years. however I am not happy with target as a company. I ordered it for pickup just to be told it was out of stock and they would send me one in the mail. my receipt and order form clearly showed that I ordered a purple one . 3 days later a torquise one shows up to my house and haven't heard anything back from target after I reached out to say I got the wrong one

If you have any questions or need assistance, we're available Monday through Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. ET and Saturday from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. ET.

Great little vacuum!
This is the greatest little vac. It’s lightweight, great suction, and easy to convert to a vac for the stairs. I liked it so much I bought another one for upstairs.
