The Featherlite is easy to push and easy to carry from room to room or up and down stairs. The powerful 12-amp motor makes sure the Featherlite does exactly what you want a vacuum to do - it picks up dust and dirt quickly. The on-board hose and tools make it easy to clean stairs and upholstery. And because this Featherlite model has a stretch hose, you can reach farther to find dirt anywhere it likes to hide. MicroFresh filtration traps more than 99% of dust and allergens.
