Finally a Powerful AND Lightweight Vacuum! 
After a failed spinal fusion my ability to lift, carry, push or pull anything even moderately heavy is gone. The #1 feature I look for in almost anything I buy is it being very lightweight. This for many product types including vacuums usually means getting stuck with a weaker, less well built product so, I was BLOWN AWAY when I got this and discovered that it actually worked better than my old VERY VERY Heavy Full Featured Hoover Vacuum.

2 Vacuums for the price on 1
We ordered this vacuum on Tuesday and it was delivered on Thursday, saved 100.00 and free shipping, very impressed. We love this vacuum, especially for the price, it's like getting two vacuums for the price of one. Light weight, quiet, great suction, lighted with a long chord.
Great suction, high quality, can lift it with one finger
THis vacuum is so lightweight, but acts like a kirby. The bags are expensive, but very big and I've gone months without having to change it. If you have steps, you can vacuum the steps with the big vacuum it is so light and easy to use. I find that I vacuum much more than I used to. My only request would be a self-winding cord. I love Hoovers and this takes the cake. I love that it doesn't have much plastic on it (breaks too easiily).
Hoover Platinum 
Does not have ability to adjust for carpet height and is not self-propelled. I like the small canister, but do not recommend the upright.
