Sanitaire Professional Compact Canister Vacuum Cleaner, SL3681A

Works very well for small spaces and has strong powerful suction for the craft room. Cord length is good and I love how you can store it partially out so I can keep it plugged in next to the Sewing Machine. I love that the bags are inexpensive and readily available. Has good dust collection, and nice and lightweight and portable. The power button is a little difficult to actuate but not horrible. It has on board storage for tools. Works beautifully. Nice strong suction. Zero regrets. I would not use it much on carpeting. It does not have a beater brush, but it would be perfect for hardwood concrete to suck a little bits out of your sewing machine or clean up messes in a craft room. It does seem to have better suction than most of the other vacuums I own, including upright.

This corded vacuum works great on our hardwood floors and a few area rugs. It is light weight, has good suction, and is able to easily go under furniture. The attachments work well for dusting or long reaches. The cord is long so the vacuum goes easily from room to room with no plug-in change. I can't believe the low price for this small but mighty vacuum. The one drawback is the cord is not retractable, but winds on the bottom of the vac which is inconvenient. So I bundle it and use a strong twisty tie to keep it together, and the cord lies next to the vac in the closet. That works fine considering all the other pluses of this vacuum. It is a great replacement for our old cannister Electrolux and works about as well!

I own a cleaning company and this vacuum has been a welcome addition to our equipment. It is lightweight and easy to maneuver. The cord is a decent length which cuts down time lost from changing outlets in each room. I love the suction adjustment on the handle. When moving from hardwood to tile you can adjust the suction without having to bend over or turn it off (again, it cuts down time). It seems a little clunky and looks cheap at first but once you start using it you realize it has amazing function and looks don’t matter. The bags last a surprisingly long time before needing to be changed. It also doesn’t hold onto that musty/dirty/pet smell that most other vacuums seem to spew out every time you use them. My only con is that it’s not great on carpet. As in, we bring a separate stick vacuum to use on any carpets or rugs. I also don’t like the floor attachment in general. I bought a separate universal hard floor brush attachment and it is much better (another pro is that you can buy universal attachments that fit the diameter of the wand. It doesn’t have any fancy snaps that make it only compatible with the attachments from the manufacturer). Even with the one con I still give it 5 stars.

I like this a lot. It has strong suction, sturdy accessories, an expandable wand for reaching high places (vacuuming dust off the top of curtains and rods). It has a great crevice tools that gets into the corners of the window sill and other tight places. It is light enough to hold with one hand, even for my wife. She doesn't like that it lacks motorized wheels in the brush head to help move it along the carpet on the stairs, but its is still easier to use than balancing the upright vacuum on the stairs. I am keeping the vacuum in the impending divorce, she doesn't appreciate nice things!

very good

I wanted a small, light vac with long tools. I have other vacs with carpet beaters but I needed something for stains, HVAC vents, the cars, etc. I've put this model through the various tests and found it to work well. Here is my Positive list. 1. Long power cord allows for a long reach. 2. Suction power is good for this size unit. 3. The crevice tools are long and work as expected. 4. Works best on hard flooring. 5. Lightweight. These are not negatives, just things to know. 1. The unit is plastic. It is good, sturdy plastic but you would not want to drop it. 2. The filter bag is small since this is a small vac. 3. The motor must have a good power draw since the cord gets warm with extended use. 4. The main hose attachment section has a rotating sleeve that allows you to reduce suction by turning the sleeve to allow air to be sucked in at the handle. If you don't know this, you may think the vac is weak because the sleeve is easy to rotate by accident, allowing air to enter at the handle, not at the nozzle. 5. The floor attachment is good for hard surfaces. I don't like it for carpet. It works. I just like beaters. Overall the little vac does what the manufacturer claims. It has worked flawlessly for me over the past few months. It won't replace my uprights but it does get into corners, cars, steps, vents, tight spaces. The floor attachment does well on furniture, especially for pet hair.

Mi experiencia con esta aspiradora es fabulosa hace 10 años tenía una eureka pero se me dañó quise comprar otra y no se porque razón vine a dar con esta estaba dudosa pero le di la oportunidad y saben me encantó su potencia, lo ligera que es sus accesorios y saben la he cuidado muy bien trato de no aspirar cosas grandes que se atasque y otras cosas como su mantenimiento ya tengo casi 10 años con ella y todavía funciona muy bien

No stars. Do not purchase. I bought as a replacement for my old Sanitaire and, boy, has it been cheapened to the point that I harvested all my old parts to use. The thumb controlled air vent was missing ( and took 4 calls to Sanitaire to solve that problem). The new wand they sent had an air vent control that was so loose it didn’t stay in place. Taped that. Worse yet, the handle doesn’t swivel on the hose at all, which is not kind to your wrist. I keep it because it is the only one I have right now, but I am shopping. This is a noisy, stiff, piece of garbage that sucks.

Been using for 4 weeks now and had to change the bag once so far. Great suction! Use it everyday 1-2 times a day for whole main floor. Not a vacuum for carpets but we do have inside/outside carpet and it does a decent job on it.

These are awesome….compact, portable….I bought 2, and also gave 2 away as gifts. Even got away with giving it to her for Xmas….its that good! And with the strap you can easily toss it over your shoulder & climb a ladder….so light & easy to pack around makes it very versatile.

It’s light and easy to use. Amazing power.

I purchased this for our office use. It does the job for sure but it is loud for a small vacuum

We use it professionally because ALL backpack vacuums were creating back problems.
