Features & Specs - Hoover Sidewinder S1156[ ]
Weight (lbs.) The weight is rounded to the nearest pound and includes the battery or cord.
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.
