The Hoover S2541 is a great vacuum that I own and use in my home regularly. This vacuum is light weight and only weighs nine pounds. You can buy a Hoover Quik-Broom S2541 for about $50 bucks in a home depot or a K-mart or Wal-mart type store. They are also sold online and all over Ebay. These vacuums are bag less and have a little tray for the dirt that slides in and out and are very easy to remove, this is one of the better features of the vacuums.
It is a small Vacuum and only uses 3.6 amps of power. I bought mine in 2005 and it has been a great vacuum in the four years I have owned it, it has never broke or anything and has really been durable. The vacuum has a 20 foot power cord which is good for almost any room, unless you live in a mansion that is. Then you would have to use an extension cord or something. The Hoover S2541 Quik-Broom will get all the crumbs,lint, dust and dirt out of your carpet quickly and with the power of a larger vacuum that may cost more.
The Hoover S2541 Quik-Broom also has a hose and a crevice tool like most vacuums do and it also has a stair cleaning handle with a hole in the grip. This vacuum has all the features of a much larger and bulkier vacuum in a lightweight easy to move unit. The Hoover S2541 Quik-Broom comes with a one year warranty.
The Hoover S2541 Quik-Broom is a great vacuum for a dorm room or a small apartment, but the one limitation of this is that I noticed the sucking power is not as good as it used to be, it also isn't as wide and doesn't pick up as much dirt as the conventional vacuum. The Hoover 2541 Quik-Broom is also prone to jamming and clogging up because of its design and needs to be cleaned out regularly. The Hoover S2541 has its down points for sure.
