Customer Reviews: repair needed Item arrived promptly but I need to take it to some warranty repair shop t be fixed.
works well, but very HEAVY Great suction, cleans very well, but this vacuum is very big and very heavy. Since it is so big, it is hard to reach into smaller spaces in my apartment without using the attachments. But primarily I have trouble manipulating because it so very heavy and requires a lot of arm and wrist strength. From the reviews, I knew this vacuum would be heavy, but I got it anyway because I needed to replace a convenient light-weight vacuum that did not have good suction and easily overheated. After six months, this one still runs well and cleans very well. Another small design flaw is that the electrical cord extends from the machine strangely lower to the ground than in other upright vacuums. This means that you must hold the cord in one hand (so you don't run over it) while you push the heavy vacuum with your other hand.
Worth every dollar. I did all the research, and took a leap of faith. I had wanted a Dyson for years, but I am SO GLAD I bought this instead. It has all the suction, and is much easier on the pocket book. I do wish it was longer in the hose section. It works fabulous on bare floors, and the power is unbelievable. Be sure to buy alot of extra bags, because you will really fill it the first couple weeks, if you vacuum daily like I do. My best friend bought this too (the pet one)..........And she RAVES about it. It's a superior vacuum. It's heavy, but you get used to it.
Two years later..... Bought this in January 2008. Used it today and made me think that I should put a review on what a good, reliable workhorse this vacuum is. Gets very heavy use with 2 active kids, 2 hairy dogs, pool, rural setting, 3-story home with various flooring types. Never had a problem, very easy to use. My one tip is to check the bag before every use and change it as soon as it is at the full line, makes a huge difference in performance.
Not that great! I have had and used this vaccum 2/week for 7 years. It's very heavy and I don't need any more of that since I am always lifting my 2 small children. I can vacuum over a spot 4times and look later, it's still not clean. It just doesn't do that thorough of a job-- and it also sucks up small rugs, and something in there is burning-- I can smell the smoke. Not good! It's very plastic-y and bulky, and parts have broken off. Also, where the hose plugs in to the machine, this comes undone quite a bit and so I'm vaccuming and find out what I just sucked up is now back on the floor. Annoying! Finally, this doesn't seem particularly HEPA friendly to me. I can see the dust particles as I vaccum. When I take the bag off the machine, a cloud of dust often shoots up into my face. I have bad allergies! I'm not impressed. Things I do like: long 30 ft cord (I can clean my whole home via plugging it in only twice), reach tool, height adjuster (to compensate for thickness of rug or bare floor) and the bags seem to fit pretty well and can acomodate a lot of dirt. I'm a teacher and I'd give it a C, maybe a D.
