Query: a fabulous little sucker...

I've been using the shark for at least nine months and it works like a dream. Having read the other reviews... anyone who tries to clean a house with a hand vac is nuts and anyone who tries to use the thing to suck up lots of anything (dirt, food, ants) will have to clean out the filter eventually so deal with it... granted the small plastic attachments are small and plastic, but that should really be exptected for the price and if you use them appropriately they'll last longer and make the task easier... the only real downside here is that it has a cord, which isn't really that big a deal and means that the vac is consistently powerful and you don't have to worry about a battery needing to be recharged.... I used to have a small dustbuster that was several times more expensive and couldn't compare to this... give it a whirl and experiment with the attachments, treat it nicely and it will reciprocate...
