Can be used as an upright or as a dust buster. Some dust sprays from side vents when vacuuming. Excellent results on hard floor when used as an upright and a dust buster. Dust buster scored well on carpet and when removing pet hair, but upright score was poor.

Can be used as an upright or as a dustbuster. Handle uncomfortable to hold. Poor cleaning results on carpet as upright and dustbuster. Poor upright hard floor results, but excellent when using dustbuster. Good pet hair removal with upright and satisfactory with dustbuster.
