Smaller than expected, but a good cleaner.
Despite shipping hiccups and a few cracks in the plastic which were easily repaired with a bit of duct tape, the vacuum is a great little sucker. I have a 2 bed, 2 bath apt. with 2 cats and a large dog, so I have to empty the container a couple times each room. This would be a lot better for an apartment without pets, but in the end it works really well and cleans great, so it doesn't really bother me to empty it often. The suction is pretty amazing, my roommates GF has the original DD Breeze (12 amp, non cyclonic) and this really does a better job, pushes easier, and cleans up more dirt even while only having a 10 amp motor. The tools are simple but work fine as well and the hose connects simply and sturdily.
All in all its a great cheap vacuum, I would spend a bit more if I could do it over again and get a heavier duty and larger dirt container vacuum instead. That all said, if you are debating between the ~$50 vacuums, this is probably the one to get as its the latest tech, and genuinely works great.
UPDATE: In the end the vac didn't really last more than about 6 months, then it began eating belts and falling apart. The build quality is low (as is the price) and as before the container is tiny. I regret buying this vac and wish I had spent $20 more or so. If you live alone and vacuum once a week or so it might work out for you, but I still would spend a bit more and get a good bagged vacuum.
