Does the bottom stick come off so you can use it like a "hand vac" also?

The stick is one long piece and can be detached at the hand held piece and at the bottom where the tools attach. So yes it can be used as. Hand vac also.

Yes the purple tube detaches so that you can use it as a handheld up close vac, like in the car, etc....

Absolutely. It's great for the car and I use other attachments including the crevice tool to get to places like the lint collector on the dryer and those hard to reach spots inside my SUV. Great for using on sofa and bed linnens as well. Hope this helps.

Yes, it has a short hose in the handle. It also comes with different attachments (brush type ends and such). These just stay attached to the vacuum. They will all connect to the end of the hose. There are some other attachments you can purchas.

The cord is detachable to make cleaning easier. It does not work without the cord.

Yes. I've never done it, but if you unscrew the top it should removable from the bottom.

There is a little metal pin (or button) on the bottom of each side of the handle that you can push in, allowing you to pull up on the handle to remove it for storage. When you need it again, you just slip the handle back and it clips into place. It is located where the handle attaches to the main body. Not quite as handy as folding down, but not too bad. (The vacuum is still going strong, too.)

No, actually it's very easy to clean; better then the previous one I had that got dust everywhere. Hope this helpsand enjoy the lightweight corded stick vac if you get one.

Yes it does as the others have answered but I've never had occasion to use it as I pick up only dry material. The one thing I wish they would have done was made a handle on top so you can pick up the vac with one hand, you have to use both hands. I made a handle on top out of nylon webbing and sheetrock screws but I it would have been nicer if it had come that way.

Yes. Handle stays still but stick is a number of parts that move independently. I love it!

I don't know if the little handle comes off, but I use it when I am getting into the tub. I also use it to slide out.

Yes, the wand pulls off and becomes the size of a DustBuster. Great little vac

It doesn't have an actual handle but rather in the front underbelly of the vacuum a hollowed out space where your hand can fit and transport the vacuum around. I previously had a Bissell vacuum and prefer this vacuum to the Bissell. Hope that makes sense and is of help!

No. What you see in the picture is it. It does turn and pull out, but no other attachment. Works great, though.

Yes. There is a set screw. Unscrew it (very easy to do) and, voila, a hand vacuum. However, it is bigger than a Dustbuster.

Yes you can. But it can be a little hard to get it detach at first. For me it was holding the vacuum just right in order to detach the handle.

Yes it does come off for cleaning. I have not had a problem with the kids taking it off themselves and I have some always into everything grandkids.

Yes, it comes off like a vacumn cleaner hose. Home Depot and Lowes sell longer hoses.

Yes. It pulls out when you push a release button on top of the unit. The bush unit stays on the vac when used as a hand-vac
