Is this a good vacuum for tall people, or would I be hunched over using it?

You would be hunched over. I am only 5'6 and the handle came up to my waist. It's not a good all purpose vacuum and did not hold charge for very long.

It's about normal size I would say. I am 6 foot and it isn't ay more less comfortable than a regular vacuum. However, this vacuum is not very powerful and leaves a lot of stuff behind.

You will have to hunch over. I am 6'2 and my wife is 5'9. Like Frances said, stay away from this vacuum! Two worthless batteries and the vacuum itself barely picks up anything.

I'm 5'1" and it's perfect for me. I think it's reasonable but sitting that long on it, you may want to keep a pump at work too so you can add air every few days.

It has been fine for me. I'm 5'10". I haven't had any issues. My wife is 5'6" and she doesn't have any issues either. She uses it more than I do. When I do use it I have no troubles.

Not quite sure of the exact length (maybe 7 feet?), but the wand is quite long and has a downward curve toward the floor (I.e., it's not a straight wand as on consumer vacuums). The length is not adjustable. Tall people will have absolutely no issues with the wand length. For shorter people, it may feel a little awkward, but the performance of the vacuum, which is amazing, makes up for it. ON EDIT: The wand is actually about 5 or so feet in vertical height and probably around 6 feet or so in total length, including the curve.

Well, when it's at an angle from your hand to the floor, it needs to be long enough for tall people. Shorter people can hold it lower down. I'm 5'5" and haven't had a problem using it.

Yes, it is excellent. I still have a vacuum with attachments but I use the AirRam exclusively on the stairs. It is lightweight and gets in the corners and edges. Being cordless makes it even easier going from one floor to another.

I'm 5'3 and I feel too short for it, so those heights might work! The fan is useless for a shorty like me. Machine is pretty quiet. I watch movies on my tablet without headphones, and it's fine.

Yes that is the only thing that is bad sbout this vacuum. It is a short nose. Otherwise i love it!

HI Mathwe,the handle is about 52-53 Inches tall, and it will stand by itself, if you need to move furnitures or else... There should not be any backaches!!! I still love this Vac!!!

Yes, excellent clearance height for tall people. I have done it several times.

Sitting upright without the handle extended it measures 28". It also has a hook hole for hanging; when hanging it measures 31" because the vacuum head hangs down. Sounds like it might work for you!

The answer is YES.. no matter your height, the unit has long attachments to vacuum under the furniture you mentioned.

Not specifically for that. Being up on a ladder with this would be somewhat risky, being it is bulky and long with the attachment. Ergonomically it would not work work well unless you are able to walk on your roof and can blow the leaves out of the gutter. I would not use the suction attachment to vacuum the leaves from the gutter if you are able to stand on the roof because it will be too risky being you have to stand close to the edge and to the gutter to suck out the leaves. So overall, the answer would be no in my opinion.

I have no problems with it and my 10 year old seems able to push it just fine. There are lighter weight vacuums, but the reviews I read on them were not very favorable.

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.

The hose is about 12" in length. There is a hard plastic extension that is about 36". I am able to vacuum rugs while standing; I am 6 ft. tall. Under beds, etc is possible but not from a standing position. Wherever you are using this unit you have to hold with one hand or sling it over a shoulder (shoulder strap is included). It easily tips over. In many applications you would want to hold the object (a pillow for example) and vacuum with the other. In order to use both hands for the task, you must carry vacuum over shoulder; not a convenient or comfortable arrangement. The older model handheld vac was a floor stable unit with wheels: a better design. The hose is about 12" in length. There is a hard plastic extension that is about 36".

sorry for the late response, I did try it the vacuum is a bit heavy and unless you are tall, I am 5'3, I do not recommend for cobweb removal.
