Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I've had this vacuum for several months now, and I'm quite puzzled by the negative reviews it's gotten. It DOES sound like maybe there were some lemons out there, but once these folks figured out how to work it, or got it replaced it was ok.
We have 2 very long-haired dogs--there is always a TON of dog hair on the carpet. Plus we're all "indoor outdoor" so there's plenty of dirt getting tracked on our carpets too. I vacuum about once a week. I turn this vac on and it does an awesome job--it's got so much suction that I have to turn down the volume when I go over my throw rugs or it lifts them off the ground. It has incredible suction through the wand too--I have nabbed flying insects from several inches away this last week--hah!
I can't stand the enormous mess of bagless vacs (a ridiculous trend in vacs if you need heavy duty cleaning), and this vac has disposable HEPA bags--which was tops on my list. The bags that are meant to be purchased with it contain the unpleasant dog smell which eventually accumulates--and they work great!!! I've never had a vac that did that.
It's got a very simple on/off switch, not a foot pedal, which I'm happy about. It has multiple on-board attachments. It has a nice large valve (?) that you turn to go from floor to hose suction--always a problem previously for me. And it has the ability to turn off the rotating brush when you're working on bare floors--although I don't have a problem w/ keeping it on when I'm going over the tile in kitchen.
It has an enormous long cord which lets me cover a HUGE amount of living room/dining room without switching outlets.
My ONLY complaint is that the latch that lets you release it from it's upright position is slightly difficult for me to get it to work in my houseshoes/boots. But I figure that's me and my selection of footwear--I eventually give it enough pressure and it releases.
I honestly can't say enough good things about this vac--it has enormous power, no smell, long cord, can do carpet or hard floors well, etc. It's not ultra-light or quiet--but I've had dogs long enough to know that I can't get the cleaning I want w/ some wimpy vac. But it's not so heavy I have a problem with it--maybe my mother would, she's 75. It rolls really well though, so you can just roll it backwards on 2 wheels very very easily. And the husband says it's a lot quieter than the last one, a Dirt Devil which didn't so squat. so go figure.
It DOES the job it says it will do--I couldn't be more pleased w/ something I absolutely depend on.
