It's sucks and that's a good thing!

There was minor assembly needed and what was needed illustrated the solid and well-thought-out construction of this vacuum cleaner.

When I was offered the opportunity to review this stick vacuum I was quite excited. Finally I could do a head to head comparison of two of Amazon's more popular cordless sticks! (Yes, my life is just that pathetic.) So here are my results:
Hardwood Floor sprinkled with flour:
Hoover Linx - The linx was the clear winner here, it sucked up every bit of the flour in one pass.
Rowenta - The Rowenta left behind clumps even after a...
Better than some other stick vacuums, but no replacement for a real vacuum.
