However, it is extremely lightweight and all the attachments fit inside the vaccuum, which looks and handles like a tackle box, making it an ideal tool for the road. 1HP of very powerful exhaust and suction.</FONT></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>For the shop, we've had an Oreck canister for over a decade that just simply kicks bottom and takes no prisoners.
