Within the home or office it is real handy to have an Atrix AHSC-1 Lil' Red light weight, versatile vacuum to primp up the surroundings. It starts out weighing only a few pounds and carrying it up the steps to the kid's play area or an occasional tree house is easy.

Not only at home, but a few solid vacuum sessions later around the office with the AHSC1 and you'll also be glad it has wheels for excellent all-around mobility.

In a pinch, the on-board attachments give the AHSC-1 Lil' Red a can-do attitude in changing focus in cleaning different areas. Take for instance vacuuming an automobile or recreational vehicle. Of course, most of the attention is on floor cleaning where all the grit is; but when sneaky snack chips peep out between cushions or seats; nab them up right-then-and-there with a quick utility swap.

Many vacuums use only one filter, the Lil Red steps it up a couple notches to three filters. The primary collection HEPA filter bag is pliable and a snap to replace. It is impressive the amount of pet hair, dander, dust and crud the HEPA bag will hold.

When the HEPA bag is nearing its capacity a sensor will flip on the bag-full indicator to let you know it's time for a replacement.

Two other filters are used to trap incidental particles in the motor's vacuum intake chamber and exhaust vent. These don't necessarily need to be replaced as often as the collection bag; as needed, just hand wash, dry, reuse. You may hardly notice them but they are an important part of the Lil Red's whole project cleaning plan.
