(More customer reviews)This little vacuum packs in power and innovative design. From the first try, I was amazed at the suction. The first time through the house I quickly filled the bag and had to change it. The Intensity pulled up all the little carpet fuzz on the 3-year-old carpet that my old vacuum could never get. It has more power than any other vacuum I've used.
The collapsing design is a nice feature. It folds up into a neat little package that fits easily on a closet floor without running into the coats. I love the controls on the top of the handle. You can go from bare floor to carpet with the touch of a button. The cord retracts nicely. The bag is easy to change, though a bit small, well, because the vacuum is small.
I discovered a nice fail-safe feature when I tried to finish the room when the full bag light was on. The vacuum shut off. I waited a bit to let it cool down, changed the bag, and it started right up. So pay attention to that light.
Overall, the design is fantastic. A couple improvements though would make it even better. For it's small size, light weight and those big wheels, it doesn't corner all that easily. The front is nice and flat and has an edge for going under cabinets, but since the front is the same width as the back, you can't go straight under cabinets. You have to go at an angle and keep adjusting the position. So making the front part a little wider than the back would make going under cabinets a breeze.
Also, if it didn't have that big carrying handle on the top of the canister, it would vacuum right under the bed. The handle isn't positioned well anyway for doing stairs, because when you hold it by the handle to maneuver on stairs, it's too back heavy and tips back. A handle placed a little farther back on the canister would solve that problem - and it would vacuum under the bed.
There are no attachments with this vacuum, but I prefer that it do it's job on the floors and I use a cordless vacuum for furniture, edging and stairs anyway.
Please don't write this vacuum off as a secondary, light-duty vacuum. Even though it's small, it's a full-duty whole house vacuum with plenty of suction.

Appropriately named "Intensity", this upright vacuum cleaner picks up dirt, dust, and debris without the need to vacuum the same spot over and over again. Its 12 amp motor and direct airpath maximizes suction power--dirt travels just 3 inches to the bag instead of through long tubes and hoses, which can slow down performance. The unit's fingertip controls allow for selecting "on/off", "carpet", or "bare floors". In carpet mode, the cleaning head adjusts automatically to different carpet heights and uses the spinning brushroll for a deep-down clean; bare-floor mode stops the brushroll to protect bare-floor surfaces. In addition, the unit�s 12-inch-wide cleaning path with edge-cleaning brushes ensures fast results, while convenient performance indicator lights signify maximum suction, as well as when the bag or filter needs to be changed. Other highlights include an adjustable-height telescopic handle for comfortable use, a soft-touch grip, maneuverable handling for cleaning around furniture, soft wheels, HEPA filtration, and a 1-quart dust capacity for minimal bag changes, as well as a bi-fold handle and retractable 21-foot cord for compact storage that takes up less space in a closet than a laundry basket. The upright vacuum cleaner measures 17 by 12 by 14 inches when folded and carries a two-year warranty.
