Seems to work - need a lot
I would buy more, definitely. I have a huge carpet area so I'd need more than the one bottle I bought though. But it was easy to use and seemed to work just fine.

Better than expected
I just picked one up today, so I get to give you a "real" first impression.

My current 15 yr. old vacuum burned up a belt and I couldn't find a replacement, so I was forced to buy an entirely new vacuum. I chose this Hoover because my last one was a Hoover also, and performed great for years.

I guess my old vac didn't perform so well in the last few weeks of its life, because this new one picked up dirt, dust and cat hair I was missing before. The advantage to the canister vac is that you can see what you're picking up, and wow, the carpet that I thought was still fairly clean turned out to be disgusting.

The old Hoover seemed to have more suction than the Hoover Elite Deluxe, but it didn't equate to better cleaning. This new one really cleans well.

The attachment does not have an electrical connection to spin the brush, it spins by suction. I thought to myself "Self, that ain't gonna work too well." Well, it looks like I no longer need my noisy, heavy,hand held vac. The attachment cleans better than my name brand hand vac at removing cat hair from the couch.

If you're looking for a vacuum in this price range, I recommend the Hoover Elite Rewind Deluxe Bagless Upright Vacuum, despite its awkward name. I'd buy one again.

Powerful, Noisy, Awkward
I got this vac for cleaning up a small space, just a room, and did not need a whole upright thing.
I can say that this unit must have a very powerful motor- when you turn it on, it sounds like a Corvette at 6000 rpm and there does not seem to be anything built into the product to lessen this clamor.
The unfortunate thing is that all this power as you would think from the sound(s) that it makes does not seem to translate into a lot of suction power. But the brush is very powerful and distinguishis this product from other "Dustbuster" type hand vacs.
As a handheld vaccum, I do find its brush powerful to get things like cookie crumbs and whatnot out of a cheap synthetic carpet but beware, it is really loud. Well, one other good thing is that the bags are easily available.
Probably you can find another handheld vac that is quieter but beware that some "Dustbuster" - style vacs do not have a sweeping powerful brush, they just inhale loose debris. So consider it carefully.
It is an okay product and people ask to borrow it, but it does have its drawbacks in the noise and that the suction is not as powerful as it should be.
I think perhpas a lot of people here are comparing this Dirt Devil negatively with respect to hand vacuums that do not have powered brushes so it is not really a fair comparison.

Broom out performs
I wanted something light, small and basic. It met those criteria but the battery really does not stay charged, weak suction and have had hair caught in brushes that probably render them useless. Even after making sure it is emptied, brushes clear, I think about my grandmother's carpet sweep that worked better without the bells and whistles. Doesn't really do the job, isn't really worth any stars. Stick to your broom.

Love the Bissell Steam Mop....It's better than the Shark
I have owned both the Bissell and the Shark. The Bissell cleans better, is easier to use and is more durable.
