Review: Excellent suction. Cheap bags. On board tool storage. - Works very well for small spaces and has strong powerful suction for the craft room. Cord length is good and I love how you can store it partially out so I can keep it plugged in next to the Sewing Machine. I love that the bags are inexpensive and readily available. Has good dust collection, and nice and lightweight and portable. The power button is a little difficult to actuate but not horrible. It has on board storage for tools. Works beautifully. Nice strong suction. Zero regrets. I would not use it much on carpeting. It does not have a beater brush, but it would be perfect for hardwood concrete to suck a little bits out of your sewing machine or clean up messes in a craft room. It does seem to have better suction than most of the other vacuums I own, including upright. Review: Powerful and light! - I wanted a small, light vac with long tools. I have other vacs with carpet beaters but I needed something for stains, HVAC vents, the cars, etc. I've put this model through the various tests and found it to work well. Here is my Positive list. 1. Long power cord allows for a long reach. 2. Suction power is good for this size unit. 3. The crevice tools are long and work as expected. 4. Works best on hard flooring. 5. Lightweight. These are not negatives, just things to know. 1. The unit is plastic. It is good, sturdy plastic but you would not want to drop it. 2. The filter bag is small since this is a small vac. 3. The motor must have a good power draw since the cord gets warm with extended use. 4. The main hose attachment section has a rotating sleeve that allows you to reduce suction by turning the sleeve to allow air to be sucked in at the handle. If you don't know this, you may think the vac is weak because the sleeve is easy to rotate by accident, allowing air to enter at the handle, not at the nozzle. 5. The floor attachment is good for hard surfaces. I don't like it for carpet. It works. I just like beaters. Overall the little vac does what the manufacturer claims. It has worked flawlessly for me over the past few months. It won't replace my uprights but it does get into corners, cars, steps, vents, tight spaces. The floor attachment does well on furniture, especially for pet hair. ## Features - Commercial-rated, light-duty machines designed to provide the clean you need. Simplified. Streamlined.

The PROFESSIONAL EXTEND® Canister SL3681A is 10 amp and 135 CFM. Perhaps they used to be 12 amps? **Q: how long is the hose for the vaccuum?? there is nothing listed in the description. i am gonna use this for my cars so hose length is important** A: The hose is about 7 + ft. **Q: How well does it pick up fine cat litter?** A: The Sanitaire Canister Vacuum picks up cat litter very well, it has great suction when its vacuum bag is empty or not too full. The suction does drop off after using it for a lot of fine dirt. I have found that I prefer a different floor attachment for hard floors with a lot of fine dirt. The original Mity Might vacuum used to come with one that had a boar bristle brush all the way around the floor face. You now need to buy one as an after market upgrade. **Q: Does this fit the eureka mighty mite vacuum bags? I have one of those right now and all of the accessories is this vacuum is equivalent to that?** A: The cloth bag that fits this Sanitaire vacuum isn't quite the same as the one that fits the Mighty Mite. Order one for this Sanitaire on Amazon. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent suction. Cheap bags.
