- low price (on sale and even regular price), you can buy two for the price of one portable Dyson... - quite a bit of suction, supposedly better than Dyson uprights - easy cleaning - somewhat light - corded so doesn't have lame 15-20 minute runtime of...

- some kits come with car vacuum kits/hose attachments that are actually really essential. It's difficult to vacuum in tight spaces if you don't have a hose to attach to so you can maneuver just the attachment head piece - corded, something like the...

- Size of the dirt cup is pretty small. With the amount of dirt and dust this thing picks up it needs to be emptied frequently. Luckily, it's fairly simple and quick to empty. - That's about it for cons.

Well this is the first time I am reviewing a product this soon after ownership. That said, it is because I have owned enough of vacuum cleaners that are both heavy uprights and canisters to be overall disappointed at the choices offered these days....

None. If it qualifies for con it is because I notice some scratch lines along the side and a 1/4 inch crack at the left back end of the unit while doing the carpet. If this is a refurbished product, then I would be rightfully disappointed to receive it...
