Will it suck up items as large as cheerios? I have a smaller stick vacuum and it is worthless for vacuuming up anything cheerio-sized.

It does work on Cheerios-sometimes takes a couple passes. Not sure of the price came down on the Hoover Linx but that stick vac is great and well above quality of this one. I will go back to that when this one does.

Size of debris could be an issue...if sweeping-up the Cheerios is not possible, then I would go with a shop-vac.

I haven't tried to but it is a surprisingly strong vac for a cordless. I know it will suck up small rocks, I use it on my porch.

I didn't have any cheerios but did have wheat chex. I gave the test and it ate it right up!! So yes..it will suck up cheerio-sized pieces. I vacuum up a lot of beauty bark that our dog tracks in.

It does really well. You can crank it down to bare floor and if you lean the vacuum forward at all it will suction itself to the floor so hard you can't move. We usually use one setting above bare floor and it'll get dust/hair/lose dirt/etc. It doesn't remove jelly or other sticky food remnants that are stuck to the floor (with the kids under 5, this is an unfortunate reality at our house), but I don't think any vacuum does.

It can't do much when its "bigger" objects. It's pretty much just a moving box with a wet tower tucked under its belly. Its a floor mop after all. If it is your first robotic cleaning device that you are looking for, I highly recommend buying a Roomba first, its a vacuum cleaner, can get 95% of the dirt sucked up.Another note: My mint just broke down after 3 months. Currently in the process of sending it back for repair/replacement. Let me tell you the process isn't super smooth so far.

You need a higher powered vacuum for that. This stick is for small cleanups and is not high powered. I would not advise this vacuum for your problem.

One of two Cheerios would likely be OK (it does pick up a like amount of dog kibble), but for more than that I would take the floor head off of it and just use the wand.

This only sucks up small objects. It doesn't clean up hair or anything that requires a better vacuum. The cord is pretty long though if that is what you are asking about.

Yes. If it seems slightly large (too loose), this is what you do: use cardboard from an ordinary cereal box (Raisin Bran, whatever) and cut a piece 2"x 4.75". Wrap it around the end of the 1.25 " shop vac hose. You will have a perfect fit. By doing this I am able to use any accessory from a household vacuum on my 1.25" shop vac hose. You have plenty of cardboard; cut some extra pieces.

Absolutely, I've had this vacuum for two years now and it works as well as the day I brought it home. I have two dogs that track a ton of mud and dirt in the house. I've used this vacuum to handle small gravel, ash from the fireplace, spilt dry food and cereal, etc. I have yet to see it not pick something up. The suction is so strong, I often hold the head an inch or two over stuff and it sucks it right up. You will not be disappointed with this!

I don't know if it is the same one or not, but I would say that I would never buy it again. It's fine for dust, but anything bigger than a speck of a crumb won't be picked up. If you do get it picked up, don't lift the vacuum or it will all fall out. I really don't like it. I have owned more simple sweepers that did a better job. Keep in mind that it is a dust buster snapped onto a handle.

I bought a Eureka EasyClean Corded Hand-Held Vacuum, 71B which I keep in my closet. It makes all of my Space Bags much more usable. (Previously, I ended up not sealing them back up.)

With my experience it will suck up the dirt.The suction seems to be powerful but it also depends on the size of your pump. I have a larger pump so it has powerful suction. If there are any larger pieces like very small rocks it might not get that (it might just push them out of the way) but as long as it is sand or dusty type dirt it should eventually get it all.

A shop vac nozzle is possibly too large, and there might be too strong of a suction for it to be effective. I can't say for sure, as I only use my regular vacuum on mine.

I have found that it works OK for picking up bigger items if you take off the floor attachment and just use the wand-- the floor attachment pushes bigger things around but that's about it.

Hi - It'll depend on the size of the rug. I have an 8 x 10 area run and have no problems; however on smaller area rugs (like door or bath mats), it'll pull them up. On trick I've learned though....if I tilt the vacuum up a little when it reaches the edge of the door mat, it doesn't suck them up. I hope this helps you.

I seriously think that very few vacuum cleaners, if any at all, could pick up xmas tree needles without clogging. I have not tried it but can tell you that I have 4 cats and 1 dog and it cleans my carpet very well.

This is commercial grade so it'll suck up everything. No bags to buy and we're still using the original filter thing. My wife is short so the wand was way to long for her use in a conventional home. Cut it down with care. Good alternative to dragging a canister but remember it's now on you back and not to run into things. Works just fine on carpet - why wouldn't it?
