Great vacuum!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this vacuum! It’s easy to maneuver. I don’t have carpet so I can’t comment on that, but it works great in my tile floor. I really like that it changes power once it detects it on the edge of a wall. It portable to use the handheld attachments. I would highly recommend.
Bought this to replace a dyson. Honesty is the best policy. It has its positives and negatives. It's light, good suction. It's quieter than my dyson. It's a bit bulky and not as maneuverable as I'm used to. The infomercial makes it a better than it is but that's understandable. I will say this. It's not expensive and probably the best vac for the money. It does a great job at cleaning and the automatic carpet to hard floor is a quick transition. All in all definitely worth the money.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I purchased the vacuum a few weeks ago. I was pleased with the ease of putting it together and how light weight it is. I love having the headlight indicator lights that alert me to areas that I may have missed. I also love the ease in removing the dust cup and reinstallation.
This is the second one I’ve purchased. The first one I had for years. However, for the first one I had to purchase a second motorized nozzle because the small hose that attaches it to the wand becomes brittle and develops a tear. The hose can’t be replaced. They’ve done the same thing with the newer version. I think this is a weakness in the design. Maybe they could at least design a way to change the hose. Also on the new one there is no longer a light on the handle. The light was great for cleaning around areas with low light. How much more would it have cost to have just kept the light. After all said, I still purchased a second one because overall it performs great.
It cleans the carpets very well! That's what I wanted. The backward pickup, is not for me, because coming back in another land, wore me out. I am a senior and not as strong as I once was. But that's ok, I can just vacuum in my regular way. The carpet looks so much better now.
We have had this vacuum about two weeks. We have a dog and this machine picks up all the hair. The lift away feature is great (we had it on our other three vacuums ). The only reason I didn’t give it 5 star.s was the lack of a beater bar hose attachment.
My husband does all the vacuuming and he lives this vacuum cleaner. It's lighter weight than our old one, and picks up so much more dirt! It was easy to put together too. The best is that there are so many different ways to use this vacuum. Happy with this purchase.
