I hate this vaccum
It's light, but the Hepa filter fills up so often as to make me prefer a broom... okay, I've got two cats, so I've learned to set up a chair by a waste basket and clean the filter with a plastic fork two or three times each time I clean the living room.
There must be a better product out there.
Great small vacuum
I love this vacuum. When I moved across the country recently, I left mine with my roommate, and promptly bought a new one for my new apartment. In my experience, you cannot get a better vacuum near this price point. Although it is small, it really is a full vacuum, and not just a dinky oversize "dust buster" or handheld with wheels.
I would probably not own this if I had a whole house or several rooms to clean, but it's great for a 1-2 apartment or condo. I do not think it is louder than other vacuums. The filter does require semi-frequent cleanings, but this is not hard to do. You can either hose it out with water and let it dry (you can do this many times without replacing it), or you can scrape it out with a small brush or even a toothpick. It is true it can be a little tricky on hard floors, as it tends to blow stuff out of the way, but with a little effort you get the hang of maneuvering it right so that it doesn't happen.
Really I've had no problems with this vacuum, it's awesome for small spaces, and I'd buy it a third time if necessary.
Best suction, best value
This vacuum gives you the best bang for your buck. I've tried many uprights, some twice or three times as expensive as this one, and have never had such a great machine. For a small one bedroom apartment and someone on a budget it works amazing. It has very strong suction compared to other vacuums I've tried and is able to pick up anything, including pet hair.
I agree with other customers that on hardwood floors this vacuum does not work well unless you use the nozzle. It blows dirt and dust away from the machine. I don't vacuum hard floors often, I prefer to sweep/swiffer then mop, so this is not an issue for me.
Another disadvantage is that it is extremely loud, but I would rather have a vacuum that is effective than one that is quiet.
This vacuum is a great vacuum for stairs and for quick jobs. It's extremely light and easy to navigate. Also, the hose/floor feature allows the hose to have strong suction, unlike the (under $200) bissel and dirt devil uprights that I have tried before.
love/hate relationship with this thing!
Used to have the "electric brooms" from the 80's and was thrilled to find this vacuum cleaner as it had so much more power. I've had this for about 3 years now and was completely impressed with it when first using it. The two things that struck me was how lightweight and easy to handle ( on carpet -low plush and wood/ceramic flooring) it was and that the suction power was incredible.
Okay, now the things that drive me crazy. The dust filter needs to be cleaned out about every other time I use it. I take it outside and tap, tap, tap, tap, tap.......it into the side of the deck rail to clean it out. I actually replace it about every three months with an expensive $10 filter. Yuck! And there's no choice, the filter MUST be kept clean or the incredible suction- isn't incredible any more. The cord is a bit short, but my house is small and that's why this lightweight, smaller vacuum works so well for me. The top hose guide/rest broke off about a year ago, first one side and then completely off. I did get a replacement for it. Then to my dismay last month one of the wheels fell off. The wheels are inexpensive plastic so it needs to be replaced, I cannot just pop it back on and have it stay. I'm at a point of deciding whether to buy a new wheel ( I glued it on and now really have to PUSH the vacuum to make it move forward on the wood floor) or buy a new vacuum cleaner.
So I am not sure what I will do. I hate to lug my larger upright out for some lighter cleaning needs (read after the family dinner nightly), but may need to do so until I find a suitable replacement.
Great Vacuum!
I bought this vacuum to replace a full size vacuum. I never thought it would work so well! I have all hardwood floors and 3 dogs, so obviously its important to have a great vacuum to get all the dog hair, and this one works perfectly! Its lightweight, and smaller than I expected, but in my opinion, it is every bit the vacuum that a full size one is. The only complaints I have, is the cord is rather short. I definately would purchase another one!
