Does it come off the stick? I read reviews that it doesn't, but description says that it converts to hand-vacuum, and the photo shows that it converts

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

It does come off the stick and converts to a hand-vacuum--a very handy item!

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

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.

Jayne, the first time my wife tried taking the canister off she couldn't get it turned either. Once I removed it and snapped it back in place a few times she was then able to remove it herself. I hold the vacuum handle in my left hand, with the snout pointing away from my body, grab the canister with my right hand and turn it left, or counter-clockwise. It only moves about an inch and then you pull it towards the front of the vacuum - towards the snout -to remove it. Hope this helps.

No. It is only the "dustbuster" style detachable. I have a full vacuum with attachments that I use when necessary. Otherwise, I use this vacuum for everything else. I now avoid the larger vacuum whenever possible.

It comes with an adapter. If your vacuum has a standard hose end you won't even need to use it. I've used my set of attachments with several different makes and types of Vacs without any problems.

I just looked at the product manuals for the various Hoover vacuums this filter works for. Finally, I found a handvac manual that actually showed (and described) the foam side facing the dirt cup. As others have said, this also simply seems logical... I have the Hoover Corded Cyclonic Stick Vacuum, SH20030. This type of filter is NOT sold for this model on the Hoover site. You can buy the plain foam ones that came with this vacuum on their site. AND, they're cheaper. :) Wish I'd known that before I bought these.

Do you like your carpets and floors really clean? I have not been happy with the suction on the Eureka RapidClean at all. Even when using the handheld alone, the stuff sucked up would fall back out.

It comes with an attachment to use as a vacuum...best recommendation is ...look in "you tube" for instructions!

It does not have suction. It does pull air in (and came with some little foam beads to suck up) but it's not really effective even with those (and that's just going to be a headache you don't want to get started). I git the impression reading about the vacuum and reviewing the manual that it used to have more legit suction (it's certainly laid out like a real vacuum) but that it was toned down over safety concerns.

Are you pushing down on the grey button on top of the vacuume cleaner beside the handle? You have to push the button down, then pull the canister out. The top fits more snug than the last one I had. I have to hold the canister between my knees, then turn the top and pull it up. I'm hoping it will get easier the more times I do it! Hope this information is helpful :0)

I'm not sure I'm qualified to answer, as I bought my machine used. I love it! It has the usual vacuum attachments: wand, brush, regular vacuum part. It's easy to use and I love the clean up.

Yes, it does. If I have something stubborn, it's very easy to convert to hand vac and get even closer to the baseboard.

I honestly would not get this unless you absolutely need a stuck vac. I just bought the DC50 Animal upright and LOVE it! The difference I believe is in the bristles in the brush. I would really suggest looking into the DC50 tho. It's a smaller, more compact upright, but just as powerful as a full size.

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.

The hand vac seems to be designed making a crevice tool unusable, ie, one that looks like the standard tool. I did not get one with the vac, which is normally an accessory. I believe the battery can be replaced. There is a cover over the battery that can be removed and I would assume that is to replace the special battery if and when needed.

This hose does not attach to the current hose on the vac. You have to remove the shorter hose and then attach the longer one. It is a heavier hose and noticeably so when doing regular floor vacuuming. So you'll probably only want to attach it when you need a longer reach. Hope this helps.
