Amen to this. I have used up right electrolux vacs for the last 20 years. One of the best things about them is this attachment called the side kick. It's a small square part that goes on the end of the hose that contains a beater brush. Awesome for furniture and screens. The vac itself has a 42 foot cord. I know you said you wanted portable, but this thing has some power. Betsy At 09:28 PM 10/9/2008, you wrote:
