Everything I was expecting... and more!!!
First of all, I NEVER write reviews on items on Amazon but ALWAYS read them before I make any major purchase. Sorry. I know it's not fair so I'm trying to make up for it. So... I reviewed about 20 vacuums on Amazon before purchasing this one. I actually went to a department store to buy it because I wanted instant gratification but decided I'd still review on Amazon.
The 2 major factors in purchasing a vacuum for the house were HEPA filtration (I have major allergy problems) and price. The very first thing I learned from digging around online is that, just because something says it has a HEPA, that alone means nothing about particles coming back out of the machine and into the air. I researched for a LONG time before I ended up spending about $300 on an air purifier. If the HEPA filter isn't sealed, it's completely useless. I'm glad to say that this vacuum cleaner is everything it said it would be!!! And the price could not be beat (I wasn't even considering Dirt Devils and...
Just purchased today
Just purchased this today as a replacement. I was drawn to this as I needed something that was going to get up all the dog hair. Just used and am pretty happy. Suction is great! Pet hair attachment worked like a charm. Extended & flexible hose allows easy access to walls & ceilings for cobweb removal. Long cord is also a welcome addition. Emptying the canister was more than easy - love that fact.
Cons: Evan though I was using on bare/wood floor, the bare floor setting is HORRIBLE. I had to stop every 2 or 3 passes to clean out the roller because I noticed the canister was not showing any signs of picking up pet hair and debris and all the dog hair was caught in the roller (the roller doesn't rotate when using on bare floor). Once I changed to the 'Brusher On' setting (setting for carpet), everything was being picked up. Seems like the barefloor setting is completely useless if you have a pet hair situation.
Also, when using the attachments (crevice,...
WOW!
I bought this after my Dirt Devil gave out. I said it was good for allergies and I was very curious about the "complete seal" thing as well. I am so impressed by it's suction power! It sucked up a sock without me even seeing it! Since the hose is transparent, I could see something was stuck, so I was trying to figure out how to get it out. The manual didn't have any instructions, so I ended up soaking the sock with water, and it slid out. It is very powerful, which makes me believe that it makes my house way cleaner than my old vacuum did. I used to have to vacuum slowly to make sure it picked up everything. It is very easy to pop out and use the attachments.
I find that it is top heavy, so when using the attachments it falls over frequently. I do have congestion after vacuuming (which I thought the seal would fix) but that could have been from dumping everything into the trash. And the dumping is so easy; just push the button on the bottom and it flips open and everything...
