This two-in-one machine not only vacuums carpets as an upright it also converts to a canister vacuum for conveniently cleaning stairs, chairs, auto interiors, and hard-to-reach areas. Converting from upright to canister is as simple as opening a latch and lifting the canister off the machine's chassis. Key to the conversion is a self-retracting, 5-foot stretch hose that funnels dirt into the canister whether the canister is attached to the chassis or unattached and operating with one of the three onboard tools--upholstery nozzle, dusting brush, and crevice tool--fitted onto the hose's end. As an upright, the 1440-watt vacuum covers carpets and bare floors with an exceptionally wide 14-inch path illuminated by a headlight. A 35-foot power cord gives both upright and canister ample reach. The machine uses 3M Filtrete bags to remove 99.5 percent of particles down to 0.3 microns and has an exhaust filter and a soft-grip handle. It carries a 1-year warranty against defects. --Fred Brack
