Deal of the day
You can use this vacuum on hardwood, tile or carpets. There are controls on the handle that let you adjust the suction and it has swivel steering to help you navigate around furniture and get into even the tightest corners of your home. The powerful suction is particularly good at picking up stubborn pet hair. It also has a low profile, which allows you to reach under couches and coffee tables. The vacuum comes with an upholstery and crevice attachments, as well as a dusting brush that can be used to clean shelves and bookcases.
The vacuum weighs just under 9 pounds, making it easily transportable for those with multi-level homes. It can also be converted into a handheld vacuum, which is great for stairs, window sills, drapes and more. And when you are ready to empty it, the dust cup easily detaches so you can dump the contents in your waste bin.
