Comment:
I use the Sidewinder in my RV - a place that is too big for a regular hand vac and too small for full-sized vac. It's got a nice long cord that allows me to plug it into one place and vacuum the whole place from back to front in minimal time. It does the carpeting and upholstery (covered in lab dog hair) quickly & easily. I just wished I could turn off the rollers and that it had a crevice attachment.
How long have you owned it:
More than six months
Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
